When they are young enough you can read anything as long as it's in a soothing voice, I read the C++ annotated reference to my son.

Now that's child abuse.

Should have read them K&R C.

I assume it puts him to sleep pretty easily. Whatever happened to hard-copy programming reference books, anyway?

I have often seem them used as a base for a monitor.

I’m curious about this, as well. Could it have biased the results at all by finding kids who were able to sit still and focus long enough to get measurements from the FMRI machine?

Also, a sample size of 27 doesn’t seem sufficient, though maybe it is for a study like this.

Read them a book

It rhymes with bloroform

Well that is the usual way of getting kids in an MRI. I would assume that wouldn't work if you want to measure their response to stimulus. Plus ethics and stuff.

Actually, it was a tasteless joke on my part.

>Well that is the usual way of getting kids in an MRI.

Wait, is chloroform still used as anaesthesia?

I didn't think it was entirely tasteless :P They do sedate them, not cloroform though.
