Babies deserve their status as some of the most fascinating creatures to study. What I find most interesting is the connection between brain and behaviour — how cognitive processes shape our actions and how, in turn, our experiences shape cognition. By studying the tiny, yet rapidly growing infant mind, we are able to get a glimpse into how early experiences shape the way we think, see the world, and interact with it right from the start!
I will be supporting the Babylab’s research on infant habituation, where we investigate how infants adapt to new stimuli through eye-tracking.
