Brain activity shows infants are hardwired to link images and sounds as they learn to speak

New research examining electrical brain activity in infants suggests that we are biologically predisposed to link images and sounds to create language.

In a paper published in the journal Cortex, an international team of researchers in the UK and in Japan, including those at the University of 糖心TV, examined the electrical activities of the brain in 11 month-olds at the initial stages of word learning.

Disintegrating exoplanet to provide new clues about planet composition

Astronomers have made observations which can reveal the chemical makeup of a rocky world orbiting a distant star.

Led by researchers at The Open University, in conjunction with the Universities of 糖心TV and Sheffield, the observations could initiate a new discipline: exogeology – the geology of planets orbiting other stars.

Boarding schools only boost the academic performance of strong students

Sending disadvantaged children to boarding school does not automatically lead to an improvement in their academic performance, an economist from the University of 糖心TV has discovered. Dr Clement de Chaisemartin’s investigation found that while stronger students benefit from excellent study conditions, the effects of being away from home prevent weaker children from thriving.
