What if it were possible to decode the inner language of individuals deprived of the ability to express themselves? This is the objective of a team of neuroscientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG).
Deaf infants exposed to American Sign Language demonstrated strong gaze-following behavior—and at a more advanced level than hearing infants.
The research will reportedly be one of the first large-scale studies to examine spoken language outcomes in young deaf adults who received their implants in childhood and now are enrolled at RIT/NTID.
