Happy to share my very first first-author paper! In this study, we show that rhythms can shape how our brains track speech (in very simple words). Work with Marina Kalashnikova, @nicolaml.bsky.social and Mikel Lizarazu.

Temporal Structure of Music Improves the Cortical Encoding of Speech

This study demonstrates that regular musical rhythms can act as a temporal guide for brain oscillations, enhancing synchronization with the speech envelope. This effect was observed across different ...

Hey #DevSci #Neuroskyence people, wondering if I know anyone who has experience running combined EEG and Eyetracking with infants and if I could pick your brain on a couple things? 👀🧠👶

It's got a boring title but this preprint is being submitted for Stage 2 consideration at AMPPS, and is in fact very exciting!

Karli Nave led a group of labs that replicated an influential EEG study on auditory beat perception by Nozaradan et al. (2011).

We found:

Hi hello, asking the community for recommendations of developmental neuroscience books/review papers/chapters that focus on infants' general neural development, particularly ones that include good information on changes in brain activity patterns (e.g., oscillations). Thanks! #neuroscience #DevSci

Nice! I think balloons might be a choking hazard for the little ones but not a bad way to display branding 🤌🏻

Ouu, a bib is a good idea. We have t-shirts and onesies with branding but some parents have mentioned that they are less interested in clothing. A bib is a bit more versatile though maybe!

Question for the #DevSci, #CogDev, #DevPsy communities. Working with infants, we send home families with little prizes (e.g., books, bath toys) for their participation. I am curious what other labs have found to be the most successful (most popular, not too expensive, good across ages)? 👶
