I was pleased to present this work, "Motivation-effort-reward tradeoffs explain infant exploratory play" (over 4 years in the making!) at @ieee-icdl.bsky.social this year. Děkuju to the beautiful and welcoming city of Prague for hosting us!

It was a pleasure to connect with many great perceptual researchers at #IMRF2025. There, I had the opportunity to share my current research comparing metacognitive access across bodily modalities + cheer on my colleagues from Tufts as they presented their own super cool work!

It's a wrap!
We are happy to bring IMRF 2025 to a close, but also sad to say goodbye to so many lovely, smart people! (or at least "until next year").
