AB  - An  essential  step  in  EEG  interpretation  is  the  identification  of  features  that  are  statistically  deviant  compared  to  normative  data,  a  process  that  defines  abnormalities  and  establishes  their  significance  in  appropriate  clinical  context.  EEG  patterns  evolve  with  maturation;  neonates  reveal  distinct  features  that  regress  within  4–6  weeks  after  birth  to  be  replaced  by  patterns  characteristic  of  infancy  and  early  childhood.  The  patterns  also  vary  with  the  child's  state  at  time  of  recording,  the  level  of  alertness  during  wakefulness,  and  cycling  through  stages  of  sleep.  Recognizing  the  considerable  variability  of  normative  EEG  features  is  thus  a  prerequisite  to  interpretation.
