Overview
The goal of this study is to investigate the preferential responses of speech neural systems in infants. The main question it aims to answer is to determine whether the oscillatory synchronization capacity is associated with children's language level (i.e. vocabulary). Participants will be presented with synthetically modulated stimuli at three frequency scales: 4 Hz, 5 Hz and 30 Hz.
Interventions
- Behavioral Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
Stimuli will be presented binaurally through headphones at 60 decibel sound pressure level (dB SPL). Conditions are presented in a pseudo-random order with an inter-stimulus interval of \~800 ms on average (range: 600 ms to 1000 ms). The duration of the stimuli is fixed: 2 seconds, in order to guarantee a minimum number of cycles. - Other Cognition development questionnaire
Computerised questionnaires completed by parents
Primary outcome measures
- Significance of correlation between the delta (i.e. difference) of synchronization power estimated at 10- and 6-months of age and the delta of vocabulary level measured at 18months of age. [Time frame: at 10-months, 6-months and 18-months of age]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- The equation for linear regression analysis used to estimate the amount of neuronal synchronization between auditory and visual perception systems according to the Coherence and the Synchrony of AV inputs [Time frame: at 10- and 6-months of age]
- The equation for linear regression analysis used to estimate the variation in the amount of neuronal synchronization between 4 experimental conditions according to the Coherence and the Synchrony of AV inputs [Time frame: at 10- and 6-months of age]
