This study is currently paused, but check back in the future for availability.
In this study, we are investigating how babies’ brain activity changes according to the language people speak. To measure babies’ brain activity, they wear an EEG hat that records their brain waves. This is a passive, baby-friendly method used to record brain activity. This is an in-person study and will involve a one-time visit to our lab in Hyde Park, Chicago.
