This is the future liberals want. An intravaginal speaker that plays music for your baby.
Babypod is a small speaker that goes inside a pregnant mother and plays music for the fetus. You can also talk to your unborn child and see how his or her day is going.
According to the Babypod website, “Babypod emerged within an important research line carried out by Institut Marquès on the effects of music from the beginning of life. Music has many benefits for the human brain, including acting as a stimulus for learning and it plays an important role in the sphere of social communication. Stimulating babies through music in their first months of life has positive effects on brain development; if this is so, why not give your baby the benefits of music starting before birth?”
“The vagina is a closed space, so sound is not dispersed in the environment. In addition, there are less soft tissue layers separating the baby from the sound target, only the vaginal and uterine walls. By placing a speaker inside the vagina, we overcome the barrier formed by the abdominal wall and the baby can hear sounds with almost as much intensity and clarity as when emitted.”
And while this may all sound a little crazy, there is actual scientific research that show that music and sound play a big part in a babies development.
“Exposure to sounds in the womb is important in terms of just helping the normal connections that have to form in the brain,” Director of Neonatology at The Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, Dr. Deborah Campbell, told New York.
In the first scientific study, the Institut Marquès team applied music to embryo incubators and proved how music improves IVF.
No confirmation if Babypod is how this Metal Baby learned to rock.
