I called the dad, tried to understand his motives, and when it was clear he would not feel ok with this, we cancelled the scan. We did give the kid the GRAND TOUR though, and they still loved it but oof that was though

This is what we did. I still felt uneasy because the kid was there and willing to participate, so we also gave her the Grand Tour and showed them everything cool we could show. But this was really though indeed

Ok, development and ethics peeps, I have a testing dilemma for you:

A kid comes to the lab to take part in a neuroimaging study (EEG, MRI, cognition) with their mom. Consent is signed (only 1 legal guardian signature is required by ethics). The parents are divorced, the dad freaks out and

Children working in markets in India could solve complex applied math problems, but they couldn't solve easier problems when presented in an academic style. Kids in school had opposite results: good on abstract problems, but terrible on an applied market (i.e., real life) problem.

This could explain why teenagers still struggle (less than children, but more than adults) in noisy environments.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this !

New preprint ! 🧠 Neural signatures of (nonlinguistic) stream segregation keep maturing from childhood to adulthood. The amplitude of the P400 (one of those "signatures") predicts speech perception in noise - already in kids.

Neural signatures of stream segregation: From childhood to adulthood

When faced with noisy environments, listeners perform auditory scene analysis, which allows them to parse the auditory target from concurrent interferences. Stream segregation involves organizing simi...
