The human brain is a complex organ comprising billions of interconnected neurons, which enables interaction with both physical and social environments. Neural dynamics the whole go far beyond just sum its individual elements; property known as "synergy". Previously it has been shown that synergy crucial for many functions cognition, however, remains unknown how when large number discrete neurons evolve into unified system able to support synergistic interactions. Here we analyzed high-density electroencephalography data from late fetal period one month after term age. We found transitions redundancy-dominated synergy-dominated around birth. Frontal regions lead emergence scaffold comprised overlapping subsystems, while integration sensory areas developed gradually, occipital central regions. Strikingly, early developmental trajectories were modulated by environmental enrichment associated enhanced mother-infant interactions, level near equivalent age was later neurocognitive development.

This study investigates the feasibility of a dry electrode cap design for neonatal electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. Recordings on phantom and real infant are compared between novel clinically used gel-based cap. The recordings included measuring both contact force signal quality during still respiration-like head motion. were assessed EEG signals’ spectral characteristics, including powerline interference. Compared to caps, caps showed largely comparable skin force, an expectedly greater sensitivity motion-induced artifacts, slightly lower no significant marks after using electrode, compositions dry- caps. These findings suggest that with technically feasible, but movement-related such as respiration in supine lying infant, may challenge long-term spontaneous activity. Yet, ease use calls future studies define optimal case
