Scientists use Sesame Street to study brain development in children

New York researchers are using Sesame Street videos to collect information about activity in the brain.  They are using this information to consider similarities and differences between the brain of a child and that of an adult. This insight to the brain's functioning could add to the understanding of why some children struggle in the classroom - while this is largely based on behavioural assessments at this time.
