New research findings have been published from the BabyRhythm project, funded by the European Research Council (ERC). A recent publication reveals how the infant brain tracks the rhythm of visual speech, and how this has implications for later language development. As part of the BabyRhythm project, in which infants’ brain...

A new publication from the BabyRhythm project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) Decoding speech information from EEG data with 4-, 7- and 11-month-old infants: Using convolutional neural network, mutual information-based and backward linear models Here, we applied three computational methods to decode speech...

A new publication from the project funded by the Fondation Botnar was published in the Frontiers in Human Neuroscience Journal, in September 2023. Neural responses to natural and enhanced speech edges in children with and without dyslexia Dyslexia is a developmental language disorder affecting reading and spelling. While...

The first paper from the BabyRhythm project was published this week in the journal Brain and Language. Using EEG data from 8-week-old infants, we showed that a machine learning approach can be used to accurately classify whether an infant was hearing rhythmic speech or a rhythmic non-speech sound. First author Samuel...
