Face Perception and Impact of Surgical Masks in Preterm Infants (Premask)

March 27, 2023 updated by: University Hospital, Grenoble
The preferences to masked and unmasked faces is relevant for premature newborns, since Covid-19, most of the faces that surround them during their hospitalization are masked. The Premask project is a continuation of the InfantMask and BabyMask studies (concerning infant and newborn), by studying the visual preferences to masked and unmasked faces of premature newborns.
