A Visual/Audio Brain Center stimulator app for babies!
*Additional audio/visual scenes will be added regularly!
Newborns are only capable of focusing 8 to 10 inches from their face. They also prefer black and white, high contrast images to color graphics. This audio based visualizer is designed help newborn babies develop their vision & hearing brain centers.
From 0 - 3 months, a newborns retina lacks the ability to distinguish details and textures.
"When your newborn looks at your hair, she doesnt get a sense of the individual hairs, but just a sort of generalized, uniform color"
- Charles D. Gilbert, M.D., Ph.D.
"Infants tend to seek out things with a lot of contrast, which are easier to see and more interesting to them"
- Claire B. Kopp, Ph.D., adjunct professor of psychology at the UCLA, and author of Baby Steps.
When a newborn looks at your face, for instance, they ignore your nose and mouth, which are subtly shaded and blend into the rest of your face. Instead, they are more likely to stare at the contrast between the dark of your pupils and the whites of your eyes.
Newborns are not, as was long believed, color-blind. By measuring a babys brain waves and eye movements, researchers have determined that the typical newborn can even tell the difference between red and green.
Just a minute a day to help your baby grow!
