Back to the womb

David Jones

Nature, 1997, vol. 389, issue 6648, 238-238

Abstract: Howling babies can be soothed by rocking or by the sound of heartbeats — both features of an earlier, blissful time in the womb. DREADCO will take this environmental reconstruction further by adapting intra-uterine contraceptive devices to carry a microphone, so that either before or after pregnancy a mother can record a tape to be played back in the cradle, wrapping fractious babies in uterine surround-sound.
