Implication

Single-arm exploratory study assesses singing effects from fathers and mothers on brain activity in premature infants, suggesting notable differences.

Key Points

Paternal singing may enhance brain activity more than maternal singing, especially during lullabies.
Preliminary data indicate higher delta spectral power for paternal singing in infants, notably during lullabies.
Study protocol employs structured singing interventions and EEG tracking of brain responses.
Findings suggest the importance of parental voices in neonatal brain development, highlighting a need for further research.
