Social interaction in the infant brain
Social interaction is a key part of life from infancy onward. One way for babies to learn how social interactions work is by watching them. This study asks how the infant brain responds when babies are watching social interactions. This appointment will take ~20 minutes altogether, and your baby will wear a cloth fNIRS cap.
*This study involves fNIRS Data Collection. You can read more about ithere*
