Sensor Nets Measure What a Baby's Brain Pays Attention To

Children's own temperament could be driving the amount of TV they watch - according to new research from the University of East Anglia and Birkbeck, University of London. New findings published today show that the brain responses of 10-month-old babies could predict whether they would enjoy watching fast-paced TV shows six months later. The research team says that the findings are important for the ongoing debate around early TV exposure.
