Funded Activity Summary

When very premature infants are born, they no longer receive important signals from their mother about whether it is daytime or night-time, and are cared for in hospital environments that are noisy and brightly lit all day. The absence of the maternal signals and the constant light and noise may interfere with normal brain development. We will determine if wearing eye masks and ear muffs at night in hospital will improve brain development and general health in premature babies.
