Anyone in #musicperception #musiccognition or #DevSci who might have animated stimuli they're willing to share? I want to use animated cartoon characters/animals hitting a drum for a new project. If you have something that might be helpful and are willing to share, please let me know! 🥁🐱👶

1/7 Can infants recognise the world around them? 👶🧠 As part of the FOUNDCOG project, we scanned 134 awake infants using fMRI. Published today in Nature Neuroscience, our research reveals 2-month-old infants already possess complex visual representations in VVC that align with DNNs.

Another from my PhD out now! We tested infants on their ability to generalize a learned metre to new stimuli at different tempos, measured by EEG responses. Overall, infants failed to generalize, but we found links with music experience and priming. Check it out!👶🧠🎶 doi.org/10.1162/JOCN...

Question for the #DevSci, #CogDev, #DevPsy communities. Working with infants, we send home families with little prizes (e.g., books, bath toys) for their participation. I am curious what other labs have found to be the most successful (most popular, not too expensive, good across ages)? 👶
