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...

Körpersignale spielen bereits im Säuglingsalter eine Rolle in der Entwicklung 👶 Bislang ist kaum erforscht, ob & wie Babys ihre eigenen Körpersignale wahrnehmen können. Eine Studie der Wiener Kinderstudien der Uni Wien zeigt erstmals, dass bereits 3 Monate alte Babys ihren Herzschlag wahrnehmen. 💓 ⤵️
