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 paper reviews neural signatures of temporal prediction in infants, finding broad cerebral localization and development from sensory-driven to top-down processes.

This study examines how emotional valence is encoded in preverbal infant vocalizations through acoustic features, revealing age-related changes and distinct patterns for positive and negative vocalizations.

This study compares cardiorespiratory responses to music in preterm infants and adults, finding similar HRV changes but distinct RSA and coupling patterns indicating different autonomic states.

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

This study investigates how induced throat vibrations influence emotional vocalization categorization and shows that vibrations modulate early neural responses during emotion recognition.

The paper shows preterm infants have atypical neural responses to maternal voice compared to full-term infants, with reduced selectivity for naturalistic maternal speech and increased response to stranger speech.
