The paper examines how preterm birth affects neural entrainment to speech rhythms in 6-month-old infants, finding differences in frequency tuning between term and preterm infants.

In 30 six-month-olds, 2 Hz syllable sequences selectively raised delta EEG power in right frontal and left temporal clusters; right frontal tuning grew over blocks; voice familiarity altered theta responses.

Shared book reading improves physiological synchrony and autonomic regulation in preterm infant-parent dyads compared to an active control condition.

This paper introduces opMCI to measure physiological synchrony in parent-infant dyads and shows it increases after a shared reading intervention in preterm infants.

This study examines how preterm infants perceive maternal singing using EEG, finding that maternal singing enhances brain synchrony compared to other auditory stimuli.
