We were impressed by Dr. Céline Spriet's fantastic work on the rate of visual processing during infancy. Understanding the speed of infant cognition needs more attention. Céline's data is compelling, and her perspective is thought-provoking! Check out her work!

Last week we were wow'd by @jacob-prince.bsky.social who presented his incisive and compelling work on the emergence of category selectivity in computational models. Check out the paper here (www.science.org/doi/pdf/10.1...) and keep an eye out for this rising star!

We were delighted to host @ainedineen.bsky.social in-person for a talk to end last year. She spoke about the spatial frequency tuning of the features that the infant ventral visual stream processes. Using fMRI and computer vision models, she provides a compelling account of the tuning of this area

This one from @rebeccasaxe.bsky.social is a top contender for me

We were dazzled by @clionaod.bsky.social's talk. Sitting at the apex of AI, neuroimaging, and developmental research, this research is not to be missed. Invite her to give this talk; you won't regret it!

Filled with enthusiasm, joy and appreciation after Dick Aslin’s festschrift. Two days weren’t enough to celebrate his singularly brilliant career. It’s been an honor to work with and know my hero.

We were delighted to host @emilymeyer.bsky.social for a talk on the puzzle of human cortical expansion. This fascinating talk weaved together evolutionary reasoning, developmental biology, and sophisticated neuroimaging to come to a compelling conclusion. Looking forward to seeing the paper soon!

We were treated to an enthralling talk by @halieolson.bsky.social a week ago. She told us about her exciting work studying language in the toddler brain, collecting high-quality data in one of the hardest to study populations! Can't wait to see it published.

Nick told us about his broad and exhilarating research program. From incisive work on the development of familiar and unfamiliar face processing, to computer models with topographic representations of visual categories. Don't miss it!

Such a pleasure to host Juliana Trach in our lab meeting. She presented her uniquely innovative work on the neural basis of reinforcement learning in infancy, as well as her superbly designed research on hierarchical representations in motor learning. Watch that space!

Hearing about @shannonmklotz.bsky.social research was so exciting! I have long wondered how we would need to change salience models to make them predict infant gaze, and I think her research has cracked it! Don't miss it!

It was such a treat to host Lauren Smith from UCSD. Her research program is incredible: using fNIRS, naturalistic behavior, and clinical populations to gain insight into joint attention during infancy. I'm excited to see all of her work come out.

It was our pleasure to host @zoengo.bsky.social at our lab meeting last week. She gave a captivating talk on her new mapping review of memory development. Can't wait to see it all come out.

Had the distinct pleasure of hearing from Dr. Tess Forest (@tessforest on the other place). She had such a rich, full, and compelling story about the development of statistical learning, and its consequences. Check out all of her great work

A few weeks back, we had the pleasure of hearing from @drjuliamoser.bsky.social about her groundbreaking work. We were inspired by her use of multiecho sequences with infants, as well as her phenomenal work on MEG. Check it out!

Events, how infants process caricature, resting state, oh my! Strongly recommend that you invite @tristansyates.bsky.social to give a talk in your lab. Thank you!

Can other participants' retinotopic maps predict a held-out participant's retinotopic map via functional alignment? Yes! This is cool because functional alignment involves a huge compression of the dimensionality, and yet retinotopic information persists 6/8

Can we discover fine-grained topographic maps from these movies? Yes: Independent Components Analysis can find components that look like retinotopic maps. This means retinotopic maps account for substantial variance in movie-evoked activity 5/8

Is there large-scale organization in the functional similarity between regions? Yes: using an anatomical atlas, we find that areas in the dorsal stream (e.g., V3A/B) have distinct patterns of activity from areas in the ventral stream (e.g., LO, PHC) 4/8

Do movies drive activity that is functionally specialized within areas? Yes: the same area from the left and right hemispheres have highly correlated movie-evoked activity, more so than the correlation between different areas (this analysis controls for anatomical proximity) 3/8
