Summary

This trial aims to understand how children with Fragile X Syndrome process speech and sounds differently. The study will use behavioral assessments, brain imaging, and hearing tests to investigate the differences in speech and language abilities

Who is the study for?
This trial is for infants with Fragile X Syndrome, a genetic condition that affects language and sound perception. It aims to understand how these children differ in speech understanding and hearing from an early age.
What is being tested?
The study tests how babies with Fragile X Syndrome discriminate between different sounds. It involves behavioral assessments, brain imaging (fNIRS/EEG), and hearing tests to track the development of their speech and auditory processing.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on non-invasive testing methods like neuroimaging and behavioral assessments, there are minimal side effects expected. The main concerns may relate to discomfort or anxiety during testing.
