Infant fMRI was then a technique in its own infancy. The four infants who contributed the majority of the data to that first study were my first child, my second child, my sister’s child, and a post-doc’s child.

The question we ask: when do face responses arise in human infant cortex?
Neuroscientists and developmental psychologists (my two disciplines) have different intuitions.

All three studies replicated the finding that infants look longer at unexpectedly high jumps than expectedly low jumps. Our new workflow is so fast, that we easily collected 134 participants. In-lab and on Zoom we had 20 and 28 participants respectively

We tested this new workflow by running the same violation-of-expectation study three times using different workflows: 1) in-lab (previously published by Liu & Spelke, 2017), 2) Zoom and 3) "hands-off". We chose the classic action efficiency paradigm from Gergely & Csibra.
