Summary

This research project stands to the intersection of neonatology, neuroscience, and music based interventions (MBIs), exploring the impact of structured sound on the brain activity of premature newborns in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). It embarks on a pioneering investigation to decipher how variations in musical stimuli, particularly those that differ in human profiles (gender and kinship) and fundamental frequencies, affect the short-term electroencephalographic (EEG) footprint of these vulnerable infants. The project aims to uncover profound insights into the therapeutic potential of music within neonatal care, thereby advancing our understanding of neurodevelopmental interventions for premature infants.
