Preterm Babies' brains show subtle speech processing differences
NCT ID NCT05397197
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how being born moderately early (32-36 weeks) affects the way babies' brains process speech sounds and learn words. Researchers will measure brain activity using EEG while babies listen to syllables, and track their vocabulary growth over time. The goal is to find early signs that could predict language delays, so these children can get help sooner. About 160 infants will take part.
