We use EEG (details inside) to observe the reaction of a child’s brain while he or she listens to sounds, views images, and touches objects. The information that we collect could be useful to further understand the causes of developmental, sensory, and attention disorders, leading to better therapies to improve the lives of children and families who are affected .
