Abstract
The Australian EEG Database is a web-based de-identified searchable database of 18,500 EEG records recorded at a regional public hospital over an 11-year period. Patients range in age from a premature infant born at 24 weeks gestation, through to people aged over 90 years. This paper will describe the history of the database, the range of patients represented in the database, and the nature of the text-based and digital data contained in the database. Preliminary results of the first two studies undertaken using the database are presented. Plans for sharing data from the Australian EEG database with researchers are discussed.
We anticipate that such data will be useful in not only helping to answer clinical questions but also in the field of mathematical modeling of the EEG.
