A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The Brain Imaging in Babies study (BIBS) aims to enhance our understanding of brain development in infants from before birth to 3-4 years of age. Utilizing advanced MRI technology alongside traditional behavioral assessments, the study captures critical data on how the brain develops in diverse populations. The goal is to identify early indicators that may predict the likelihood of developing conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This research could lead to early interventions for children at risk, improving long-term outcomes.
