Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Our evaluation of the test-retest reliability of measures of brain development<br /><br>will be based on the following outcomes:<br /><br>- ERP peaks related to face processing in infants, specifically the amplitude<br /><br>and latency of the so-called N290 peak, in response to photographs of faces<br /><br>with different emotional expressions (emotional face task).<br /><br>- Background EEG, as reflected in power in specific frequency bands in the EEG,<br /><br>especially gamma power, to social and nonsocial film videos (background EEG<br /><br>task)<br /><br>- Length and number of visual fixations to stimuli that test different stages<br /><br>of attention (gap/overlap task).</p><br>
