London, December 6 : An American study has shown that the brains of kids belonging to low-income families process information differently to those of children from wealthier homes.
Conducted at the University of California, Berkeley, the study involved 26 children in the age group of nine to ten years. Half of them were from low-income homes, while half from high-income families.
The researchers used an electroencephalograph (EEG) to measure activity in the "prefrontal cortex" of the children’s brains.
During the test, the children were shown an image onto a screen. They had not been briefed about the picture.
The researchers measured the subjects’ brain responses as they saw the picture.
