Then the babies were presented with sequences of sounds of different tone color but all the same pitch.They were sensitive to and whether they would predict what was coming next based on what had gone before Occasionally ,you play a sound of a different pitch and watch EEG to see if they produce a distinctive reaction to this sound.And the results revealed that babies have a sense of pitch from birth.
