eye movements, transient eye closures may be seen in wakefulness especially when
infant is crying

R- eyes close with REMs (eye movements)

Infants <2 months: Chin EMG patterns - Answers - Wake- present, movement artifact
N- present; could be lower than wake
R- low transient muscle activity may occur

Infants <2 months: behavioral - Answers - Wake- eyes open, crying, feeding
N- reduced movement (close to wake) (eyes closed, periodic, sucking, occasional
startle)

(LVI or M- wake or REM only)(rapid eye movement may also be seen in wake)

TMA (transient muscle activity) - Answers - -Short irregular burst of EMG activity
-Duration 0.25 seconds superimposed on low EMG tone.

Eye blinks - Answers - -Conjugate vertical eye movements
-Frequency 0.5-2Hz present in wake with eyes opened
