We found that younger infants' fixation patterns were significantly related to patterns of activation in low-level regions of adult visual cortex. Older infant's fixations were related to both low- and mid-level regions, similar to the pattern of results of a comparison group of adult subjects

We used representational similarity analysis to compare this adult fMRI data to younger (5-7 mo) and older (10-12 mo) infants' fixation patterns as they viewed a subset of the NSD scenes from the NSD in our lab

Infants' attention is increasingly guided by higher-level stimulus features, suggesting that the gradual maturation of higher-level visual cortical areas may increasingly support gaze control

The Oakes lab had a highly productive last few days!!! Lisa organized and hosted a writing retreat with lots of goal setting, writing time, and check-ins.

This pic was day 1 coffee & goal setting time. I intended to take more pics and document the full retreat but got swept away in writing!!

It’s been SUCH a fulfilling month of research!! Got to talk about my infant scene viewing work at the Bay Area Developmental Symposium and at the Vision Sciences Society meeting. Feeling very grateful to have met so many interesting people and to be a part of these welcoming communities 👁️🧠👶🖼️
