NCT ID NCT02826733

First seen Jun 15, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 15, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how babies' brains become specialized for language, comparing preterm and full-term newborns. Researchers used EEG and NIRS to measure brain activity while babies heard sounds. The goal was to understand when and where language dominance develops, and how a preterm baby's different sound environment might affect early learning. No treatments were given; this was purely an observation study.
