Human Speechome
'Big brother' informs baby talk: "Every movement, gurgle and chuckle made by a baby in the first three years of its life is being recorded by a scientist in the US.
Professor Deb Roy of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is recording his son's development to shed light on how babies acquire language.
The Human Speechome Project, as it is known, uses cameras and microphones installed in the scientist's home. "
