The effect of frequency ranges on three quantitative EEG measures as related to neurodevelopmental outcome at 12-24 months is reported here. Thirteen EEG records from term neonates with moderate hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) were analyzed. The spectral entropy, spectral edge frequency and relative power were calculated for each EEG channel. 4 separate frequency ranges were employed and their respective variations examined. Graphical and statistical analysis was carried out on the results. Statistical separation between the mean distributions of SEF, Hs and RP was not observed. The optimal frequency band is dependent on the qEEG measure in question.
