First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to understand how children's brains learn to combine words into meaningful sentences. Researchers will record brain activity from 100 children (ages 2-20) who already have electrodes implanted in their brains for epilepsy monitoring. While listening to stories like "The Little Prince," their brain signals will be analyzed to track language development. This is an observational study only, with no treatment or direct medical benefit for participants.
