1/ New preprint! 🧠👶 "Eccentricity, not category, organizes infant ventral temporal cortex." With Emily M Chen, Cleo Tay, Kylie Syzmanski, and @camerontellis.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Eccentricity, but not category, organizes infant ventral temporal cortex
Scene- and word-selective regions in adult ventral temporal cortex occupy consistent locations across individuals and align with eccentricity biases for peripheral versus central parts of the visual f...

Super excited to be back @cogcompneuro.bsky.social in NYU - this year presenting new exciting work from Project Simsom with @camerontellis.bsky.social, Dan Yamins and the team. Are we ready to build an AI model of infant development? We think so ... come check it out Thursday 10:30 E39 👶🤖

New paper! We found basic scene selectivity arises across the scene network early in infancy (i.e., by ~3.5 months old), prior to independent navigation experience www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

1/ The world's songbirds sing in just 8 basic sounds. And where a bird lives decides which ones it uses. My first PhD paper is out now in @science.org (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aee6239) Here is what we found:

Working on your schedule for #OHBM2026? Save some energy for the last day to discuss the latest in precision imaging of the infant brain with @reznikdaniel.bsky.social, Jucha Willers Moore from @kingspfig.bsky.social and @camerontellis.bsky.social!

1/ New preprint with @dyamins.bsky.social + team! Ventral visual representations within areas evolve over the course of the response along the same hierarchical complexity axis that distinguishes the visual areas, potentially driven by local recurrence.

A small or even absent Visual Word Form Area is associated with reading difficulties. Check out this Stanford Report article about my recent paper from Nature Communications and learn more about the relationship between reading at the dyslexic brain! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dyslexic children show differences in brain reading region
A new study reveals that the visual word form area, vital for text recognition, is smaller or absent in dyslexic children.

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.

Awake infant fMRI offers a rare window into early brain and cognitive development. In a new paper out now in Infancy, we leverage data from hundreds of infant scans from the Saxe and Turk-Browne Labs to reveal what factors drive scanning success — and how future studies can maximize data retention!

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Awake Infants: Insights From More Than 750 Scanning Sessions
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in awake infants has the potential to reveal how the early developing brain gives rise to cognition and behavior. However, awake infant fMRI poses signifi....
