In 1000 days, a baby learns to speak, walk, reason, acquires social norms, and begins to shape their own personality. At the @babylyon.bsky.social, we are dedicated to understanding how this extraordinary journey unfolds.

Learning is best when a teacher engages directly with the learner, e.g., by routinely gazing toward them. Is social engagement always beneficial for learning? If not, when?

The beautiful Hall of Mirrors that today hosts an exciting symposium on “The underconceptualization of everyday life”, put together by @ericman.bsky.social 🤩
with @bpomie.bsky.social @benedek.bsky.social and myself at the ESPP conference in Warsaw. So much to think about !

Today at #ECVP25 @mmellon.bsky.social presented new data of an #fNIRS study providing the first evidence of selectivity for social interaction events in visual cortex in 6- and 10-month-old babies 👶🏻
Tempting to think that this reveals where social perception begins in the brain 🧠

At the #ECVP2025 today Violette Munin presented her new fMRI work on the visual stream for processing social information.
If you are around and want to continue the discussion, we are here for this ☺️
Stay tuned for more talk from our lab in the upcoming days!

• Seeing two bodies face-to-face is sufficient to trigger the social interaction network, with effects that are strongly left lateralized (see also www.cell.com/current-biol... )
Converging evidence that left extrastriate body area supports visual sensitivity to social interactions
Gandolfo et al. use a combination of correlational (fMRI) and causal (TMS) methods to show that activity in the left extrastriate body area (lEBA) is required to efficiently perceive face-to-face huma...
