- Reposted by Cliona O'DohertyPlease help: Do you know a baby, less than 12 months old, who can walk? We are trying to complete a project, 7 years in the works. And all we need are 3 infants who are less than a year old and can walk, to do a short online looking-time study. 🆘
- Reposted by Cliona O'DohertyFascinating talk by @rhodricusack.bsky.social showing his & @clionaod.bsky.social’s work on 2 and 9-month olds with 130 (!) infants & 20 min (!) data showing a largely similar representation of medial ventral vision but a largely absent response in LO, dovetailing with myelin development. #CAOS2025
- Reposted by Cliona O'Doherty"How infants learn and explore: From behavior to computations" 👶⚙️ This review outlines my take on early development, mostly driven by frustration that infancy research focuses on what infants can do, not how. Still a Preprint! Missing-literature suggestions welcome :) osf.io/preprints/ps...
- Reposted by Cliona O'DohertyWhy do we not remember being a baby? One idea is that the hippocampus, which is essential for episodic memory in adults, is too immature to form individual memories in infancy. We tested this using awake infant fMRI, new in @science.org #ScienceResearch www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Reposted by Cliona O'DohertyA brave (and patient) group of neuroscientists have figured out how to do task-based fMRI in babies and toddlers. They aim to uncover how the infant mind takes shape—and the method has already provided new insight into infantile amnesia. My latest www.thetransmitter.org/cognitive-ne... #neuroskyence

- It's been so rewarding discussing our results throughout the year, and I can't wait for the community to continue to hear what we have been working on! 👶🏻🧠👩🏻💻 @rhodricusack.bsky.social
- We were dazzled by @clionaod.bsky.social's talk. Sitting at the apex of AI, neuroimaging, and developmental research, this research is not to be missed. Invite her to give this talk; you won't regret it!
- Reposted by Cliona O'DohertyWhat if you are a student interested in NeuroAI and are looking for resources to learn more? We provide a list of resources with the paper! If you know other great resources, please open a pull request or DM me! We hope this to become a ‘living document’! github.com/8erberg/Neur...
- It's done! 👩🏻🎓 I'm so happy to share that last Friday I successfully defended my PhD. After a crazy four years of ambitious awake infant neuroimaging, NeuroAI and everything in between ... somehow, I'm even more excited now to see where this research takes me next 💡 #PhDone
