This study shows that newborns' brains tune near criticality in response to prenatal language exposure, with differential responses to familiar and unfamiliar languages based on rhythm similarity.

This paper shows that visually naive chicks prefer specific multipoint correlation patterns, similar to humans and rats, and that early visual experience can alter these preferences.

The paper tests if inserting silences to restore theta rhythm improves speech comprehension in French and Japanese, finding it effective in French but not Japanese.

This study shows that newborns' brain activity shows increased long-range temporal correlations after speech stimulation, particularly for the language they heard prenatally.
