๐ฐ Humans from different cultures talk to their children using โchild-directed speechโ, or โbaby talkโ. But according to new research, this characteristic is however far from prevalent in our closest relatives, the non-human great apes...

We are recruiting two PhD students on cortical folding variability and organisation before birth, using fetal MRI. Come and join a motivated and happy team with tons of great fetal data, in a sunny, friendly, and inclusive environment.

The BRC was very lucky to have @francescopoli.bsky.social as her PhD student. He successfully defended his thesis at Radboud Uni in 2024, and has now received the Glushko Prize for his outstanding dissertation from @cogscisociety.bsky.social.
Congrats Francesco! What an achievement!

"How infants learn and explore: From behavior to computations" ๐ถโ๏ธ
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 :)
