Are you interested in what to do with all that movement data you often get in your neuroscience measures? Is it just noise, or how can we make use of it? This December, we are organizing a workshop in Lübeck to discuss precisely these questions. (1/2)

Check out our new preprint on how infants respond to music over the first year of life! 👶🧠💃🎶
While neural responses are pretty much ready to go in the youngest, moving to music takes a bit longer, becoming more complex and potentially more dance-like by 12 months. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Development of Auditory and Spontaneous Movement Responses to Music over the First Year of Life

Humans across cultures not only share the ability to recognise music but also respond to it through movement. While the sensory encoding of music is well-studied, when and how infants naturally start ...

Now published (Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews):

"Relational neuroscience: Insights from hyperscanning research"

We introduce #RelationalNeuroscience as a framework for research on inter-brain dynamics.

We state that #hyperscanning is the prime methodology informing Relational Neuroscience.
