In most nations, premature births -- at or before 37 weeks -- have risen in the past 20 years. Leaving the nourishing confines of the womb too early can result in complications and often leads to a stay in a hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
過去20年內，早產兒（懷孕未滿37周就出生）在大多數的國家都有増加的趨勢。太早離開提供營養的子宮可能會造成許多并發癥，因此早產兒往往得住進新生兒加護病房（NICU）。
At University Hospital in Geneva, Switzerland, music is folded into the care plan for some preemies. But unlike other NICU music programs, this novel project features three specific songs, which babies listen to through special headphones made for tiny, fragile heads. The songs are part of an ongoing study that aims to understand how music affects a preterm newborn's brain and how well it can recognize melody, tempo, and pitch—skills likely related to language processing.
在瑞士日內瓦大學附屬醫院，音樂治療被納人某些早產兒的照護計劃。與其他NICU的音樂計劃不同，這項新計劃的特點是播放三首指定曲，嬰兒會戴上為脆弱小腦袋而設計的特制耳機來聆聽。這三首曲子屬于尚在進行中的研究內容，目標是要了解音樂會如何影響早產兒的腦部，以及早產兒的大腦對于識別旋律、節奏和音調又能達到什么樣的程度，因為這些技能可能與語言處理有關。
