We're hiring! 2 postdocs + 3 PhD students to join InfantNeuroAI at Trinity College Dublin: awake infant fMRI & OPM-MEG, plus computational models of how infants learn. Aims: understand infant visual cognition, infant neuroimaging methods, more energy-efficient learning 🧵 www.cusacklab.org/vacancies

Delighted to share that I’ve been awarded a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant for #InfantNeuroAI The project will investigate how human infants learn to understand the visual world, by combining awake infant neuroimaging (fMRI and OPM-MEG) with computational models from AI.

What and how do babies see? Rhodri Cusack discusses early visual development. Come to the session for the pics of babies (like the one below of baby watching "infant IMAX") and stay for the great science! @rhodricusack.bsky.social #CNS2026 2/

Human babies may be able to visually categorize different objects earlier than previously thought, even at two months of age, according to research in Nature #Neuroscience. go.nature.com/4tcQOu3 🧪

This is figure 2, which shows visual representations from infancy to adulthood.

Through the Foundcog project we scanned 100+ infants with awake fMRI. In this Nature Neuroscience paper led by clionaod.bsky.social, we show that, by 2-months, infants’ brains already encode rich representations of object category. Congratulations Clíona on such beautiful results! 🧠✨

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.

@mariesantillo.bsky.social shows that 2 month old infant show significant activity in the MD cortex which is different from 9 month olds and independent of visual complexity

First morning in Brisbane! Looking forward to exploring the city before #OHBM2025 kicks off! Excited to be here to share my research on early MD network engagement in infants. Come chat at poster #1029 🧠🌎
