A new technology that uses light waves to measure activity in babies’ brains has provided the most complete picture to date of functions like hearing, vision and cognitive processing outside a conventional brain scanner, in a new study led by researchers at UCL and Birkbeck. The wearable brain imaging headgear found unexpected activity in the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain that processes emotions in response to social stimuli, appearing to confirm that babies start processing what is happening to them in social situations as early as five months old.
