Overview
BL2 is part of the National Science Foundation and Gallaudet University’s Science of Learning Center, Visual Language and Visual Learning (VL2).
In our BL2 Center, we are conducting a study on how deaf and hearing children learn, particularly in the areas of language, reading, and other higher cognitive functions (attention and emotion). We will test them before and after their first year of primary schooling. Our studies are designed to be a fun opportunity for both parents and children. Children will play science games while we measure their brain activity using harmless light (safe with hearing aids and cochlear implants) and their temperature using a thermal camera (touchless).
