“…Electroencephalography (EEG) hyperscanning allows the assessment of brain-to-brain co-regulation during live interaction between infants and parents, offering promising insights into the mechanisms behind the interactive benefits of early VF interventions.GoalsThis study aimed to compare indices of brain-to-brain co-regulation between dyads of full-term (FT) and VPT infants interacting with their mothers and investigate the effect of an early post-discharge VF intervention on the brain-to-brain co-regulation indices of VPT dyads.Methods and analysisVPT and FT dyads will be enrolled at birth, and the former will be randomly allocated to one of two arms: VF intervention or care as usual. Short-term effectiveness will be assessed through ratings of mother–infant interaction videotaped before and after the VF intervention or care as usual. …”
