Abstract

Understanding the brain function and its developn~entalp rocess in infant are important theme in the field of brain science from viewpoints of earlier diagnostics of brain functional decease in infant and establishment of educational way based on scientific theory. Optical topography (OT) has advantages for measurements of infant brain functions because OT is non-invasive and it can measure brain function under natural conditions. Authors are trying measurement of infant language function by using OT to establish a new measurement methodology for infant brain functions. This report shows basic results of the trial as our latest results.
