Abstract
Major causes of death and handicap in the newborn are brain hemorrhage and cerebral ischemia. A description is given of research directed at identifying the onset of reducing intracranial compliance by combining noninvasive measurements of intracranial pressure, obtained from the anterior fontanelle, with adaptive signal-processing techniques. The objectives are to detect problems at an early stage before a significant rise in pressure occurs and to predict the effectiveness of therapy.<>
