UNBORN BABIES ARE HEARING YOU, LOUD AND CLEAR.

These findings build on other research conducted over the past 20 years that looks at how babies respond to sound. Minna Huotilainen, who also worked on the study, published a study in 2005 showing that fetuses can discriminate among sounds. And, in 1988 researchers found that babies who heard soap operas in utero became addicted—at least to the melodies.

"What really moved me was an African-American girl who might have been 15. She came running up to find me afterwards and said 'I don’t know what you call that sort of singing, but it was the most wonderful thing I have ever heard. Where can I find more of it?'
