Abstract

âº The novel measure ASI provides an objective marker of interhemispheric synchrony âº ASI is robust and sensitive enough for assessment at the level of individuals baby âº ASI calibrates itself to varying amplitudes and frequency content âº ASI is insensitive to most common artefacts of the clinical environment âº An objective and reliable measure of asynchrony holds promise for an EEG biomarker
