Is it Christmas morning already? Unboxing the new fNIRS systems that’s just arrived at the @BabyLearningUBC - LUMO is here! @LLEmberson @gowerlabs

Meta-analysis on attrition rates in infant fNIRS studies just ACCEPTED! 16-17 months from submission to acceptance. Not bad for COVID era review processes. Will tweet the final version.

Come and do your MA/PhD in the @BabyLearningUBC at @UBCPsych or @NeuroscienceUBC. We study the neuro-cognitive mechanisms that support infant learning and perception. We're doing some very naturalistic fNIRS studies and also plan to do neonatal/premie fNIRS. Please RT!

Asking #Neurodevelopmental twitterverse for help! At @BabyLearningUBC we are exploring new ways to learn about babies' brains and want to give them a Gadget Hat! Any tips on how to integrate head cam with #fNIRS cap? What worked, what didn't work, what to pay attention to?

Big challenges for my area: understanding how these short-term learning effects give rise to longer-term developmental changes. And the crucial importance of returning to realities from an infant’s real-life input to guide our learning paradigms and theoretical questions. #IASL22

15 years of SL research has taught me that the nature of the input really matters for SL (perceptual, representational, familiarity). And SL *rapidly* modulates the infant brain including perceptual systems. But we have challenges to overcome as we develop as a field. #iasl22

About to give my "Early Career talk" at #IASL22 in San Sebastián/Donastia. Here are my conclusions in two tweets:

Next on our Developmental Psychology Spotlight is Dr. Lauren Emberson! She runs the Baby Learning Lab at @universityofbc. She studies how young babies learn & how their amazing learning abilities support the different areas of development like vision & language. (1/2)

So now that I’m a doctor (🎉) I can officially share my biggest news of this year: In November I’ll be joining the amazing @LLEmberson to work as a postdoc at the new @BabyLearningUBC!

Dr. @LLEmberson and her UBC Baby Learning Lab are happy to announce their new logo. Snails symbolize "slow and determined movement" and "life's progress", just like babies are gradually growing and exploring new things in life. Thanks to everyone who voted!
