New research study examining how the top-down perceptual modulation in infants, 10-13 months, is specific to own-race faces by @naiqixiao, Hila Ghersin, Natasha Dombrowski, Alexandra Boldin, and @LLEmberson. Work funded by @NIH, @JSMF, @NSERC_CRSNG.

Two key limitations of fNIRS are anatomical co-registration and variation on channel placement across participants/ages. We present a scalp parcellation approach that connects these two and in the context of a longitudinal sample! Check it out.

We would just like to take the time to congratulate one of our graduate students, Zohreh Soleimani, on her huge accomplishment of successfully defending her master's thesis and progressing to her PhD! Fantastic job and we all look forward to the great things you do next! ๐

Are you interested in talking to science profs at UBC, including our Director (@LLEmberson)? The @ubcneurosciclub is hosting an in-person event on November 25th from 6-8pm where you can do just that. Please see this link to RSVP: tinyurl.com/mvyezb4s. The deadline is tomorrow!

Meta-analysis on attrition rates in infant fNIRS studies just ACCEPTED! 16-17 months from submission to acceptance. Not bad for COVID era review processes. Will tweet the final version.

Just submitted! First pandemic project by Sori Baek. Meta-analysis on attrition in infant fNIRS. Accurate knowledge of attrition is essential for #openScience biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/โฆ

Come and do your MA/PhD in the @BabyLearningUBC at @UBCPsych or @NeuroscienceUBC. We study the neuro-cognitive mechanisms that support infant learning and perception. We're doing some very naturalistic fNIRS studies and also plan to do neonatal/premie fNIRS. Please RT!

Asking #Neurodevelopmental twitterverse for help!
At @BabyLearningUBC we are exploring new ways to learn about babies' brains and want to give them a Gadget Hat!
Any tips on how to integrate head cam with #fNIRS cap? What worked, what didn't work, what to pay attention to?

Interested in a broad overview of the current status of optical imaging of the human brain from a great large team of authors including our director, @LLEmberson? See this link for #Neurophotonics' special issue: tinyurl.com/ydxrdcn5 ๐ง ๐

We'll have a quiet week in the lab next week with our researchers, Dr. Sabrina Burr, Dr. Ola Dopierala and Zohreh Soleimani attending and presenting at ICIS 2022 (@Infantstudies)! We're excited to hear about all of the new findings in developmental psychology when they're back ๐

Big challenges for my area: understanding how these short-term learning effects give rise to longer-term developmental changes. And the crucial importance of returning to realities from an infantโs real-life input to guide our learning paradigms and theoretical questions. #IASL22

15 years of SL research has taught me that the nature of the input really matters for SL (perceptual, representational, familiarity). And SL *rapidly* modulates the infant brain including perceptual systems. But we have challenges to overcome as we develop as a field. #iasl22
