What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.
