Tommy Helps Advance Science



Don’t freak out,  he isn’t being hurt.  He has a cap on that is measuring his brain waves.  It is only wires with sponges that touch his scalp.   He was great during the study.  He never cried once or fussed due to the cap.   His attention span was really good. 


The study is being done by Dr. Nelson of the Early Childhood Dept at the University of MN.   They are looking at recognition and memory in 6 months old babies.  Tommy was shown four pictures repeatedly, one of me, one of Paul and two strangers.  They measured his brain waves response to the pictures.  He saw them 100 times.  The actually study portion of looking at pictures took about 15 minutes.


Tommy earned $5.00 and a new toy for his time.  It was pretty interesting the study will be completed in about 2 years.
