Pediatric Quantitative EEG · Strategic Taskforce
Turn continuous EEG into answers at the bedside of every critically ill child.
PedQuEST is an international consortium of pediatric neurologists, neurophysiologists, and data scientists building the evidence, methods, and shared standards for quantitative EEG in pediatric critical care.
A research, education & collaboration platform — not a source of medical advice.

What we do
One signal, three shared jobs.
qEEG only changes outcomes if it is measured the same way, interpreted with evidence, and taught widely. PedQuEST works all three at once.
Multicenter monitoring
Harmonized qEEG capture across neuro-ICUs and PICUs, so a recording in Toronto means the same thing as one in Philadelphia.
Methods & standards
Reproducible feature definitions, open benchmarks, and validation studies that turn qEEG from expert intuition into measurable science.
Education & training
Case libraries, curricula, and fellowships that build qEEG literacy for the next generation of pediatric neurocritical care clinicians.
Research library
A searchable, citable record of the field.
335 publications, auto-refreshed from PubMed and exportable to your reference manager — from foundational papers to this year's work.
