Past Research

In this project we are interested in understanding how simple film and TV techniques like editing between two characters in dialogue are understood by babies and how this relates to their cognitive development and media exposure.

The study aims to establish an inter-disciplinary scientific network devoted to investigating the disruptions of prenatal and postnatal brain development that underlie neurodevelopmental disorders with onset early in life

GraFIX is a software and a method to detect fixations in low and high quality data.

We are constantly bombarded with information through our different senses.  Sometimes, the combination of this information supports our learning, sometimes it doesn’t.  The key is how we integrate information from the different senses.

Our expertise in fNIRS infant research is reflected by the number of publications that the CBCD has produced and is testament to the long-standing collaboration between CBCD, Birkbeck and the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, UCL.

A team of neuroscientists, computer scientists, and education experts are developing a computer-based learning activity that aims to help children learn new concepts in science and maths.
