Measuring the Brain's Response to Sound

Caption

In the Northwestern study, scalp electrodes pick up how children's brains react to sounds such as speech in a noisy background. This unique biological approach allowed Nina Kraus and her colleagues at the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory to evaluate children's language development and future literacy potential.
