Although Homer Simpson’s brother’s Baby Translator may still only be a whimsical concept, Rhode Island scientists have developed something that could prove to be even more valuable. Researchers at Brown University teamed up with faculty at Women & Infants Hospital, to create a computer tool that may find use detecting neurological or developmental problems in infants, by analyzing their cries.
The software starts by breaking recordings of baby cries down into 12.5-millisecond “frames,” then analyzing each of those frames for parameters such as frequency and volume. All of that individual frame data is then combined to provide an overview of the cry.
