"What is baseline, maladaptive, rest or post depends on context" - great presidential address by Christine Larson at #SPR2025

Babies' brains still react to objects that others can see, even if they can't see them themselves. Exciting findings on early perspective taking by Anna-Lena Tebbe at ##SPR2025
October 16, 2025 at 8:50 PM
How can we measure early cognitive development? Thank you, Anna-Lena Tebbe for organising an exciting symposium at #SPR2025 showing several interesting new findings from infant EEG. It was a pleasure to be part of the session! #SPR25

"Let's all sit down and share our tricks" - The way we analyse infant EEG data is very relevant to get reliable and replicable results. Great overview of relevant considerations for EEG preprocessing by Santiago Morales at #SPR2025

When parents synchronise with their children, this relates positively to children's self regulation in the classroom. However the positive relationship was only visisble in relaxed but not in stressed parents. Great talk by Tose Akinmola-Milone at #SPR2025

Excited for #SPR2025 to start and looking forward to interesting talks and discussions about psychophysiology!

Combining multiple methods gives us valuable insights into social development in Infants and children. Great international symposium with speakers from 5 nationalities and even more methodological backgrounds organised by my talented PhD students Sahura Ertuğrul and Niloofar Goharbakhsh at #EPSY2025

Myth busting at #EPSY2025: kids' screen use before bedtime does not affect melatonin levels, the "blue light myth" is busted by Carolin Konrad. There are many screen time recommendations which make strong claims based on very weak evidence - something worth considering!

#EPYS25 is starting in Gießen - looking forward to great talks and particularly an international symposium organised by my PhD students Sahura Ertuğrul and Niloofar Goharbakhsh on "Multimethod approached in social development" on Wednesday at 9am!

Are pigs aware of their self? Exciting talk by Kimberly Brosche with lots of cliffhangers at #DUCOG2025 - pigs seem to somehow be aware of themselves but some alternative explanations to body awareness remain... #DUCOG

Talk about those memories: reminiscing about memories with children is positively related to social skills (Theory of Mind). Especially if you ask your kids questions! Great poster by Kim P Roberts at #DUCOG2025 #DUCOG

The passport effect: when traveling we double check if we packed our passport, because it's so important. Apes would check their passport too (at least they double check if they got important food). Great early morning keynote by Josep Call at #DUCOG2025 #DUCOG

Are babies aware of their self? Very exciting findings from Margherita Belia. Babies might recognise their voice before they recognise their face in a mirror. If all alternative explanations can be excluded, this will be an amazing new measure! #DUCOG2025

"Being directly engaged in social interactions enhances young children's processing of others' actions" - Marlene Meyers keynote at #DUCOG2025 shows that behaviour and EEG (Mu power) suggest that our interactions with babies are really important for social development

How social are dogs? Turns out this is very difficult to test but @anatomasic.bsky.social has some advice. Great poster presentation at #DUCOG2025 #DUCOG
May 23, 2025 at 12:26 PM
The concept of baby's self is shaped by the way this baby interacts with others - great keynote lecture by Senay Cebioglu at #DUCOG2025. I think this may be true for all ages.

Great first day at #DUCOG2025! Looking forward to presenting our results on neural and behavioural mechanisms of social conventions tomorrow. We studied social interactions between strangers in real life and found that emotional expressions played a surprisingly small role.
