Research At The Birkbeck Babylab Into Brain And Cognitive Development

LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 03: Leo, aged 9 months, wears motion capture and surface electromyography (EMG) sensors as he takes part in an experiment at the 'Birkbeck Babylab' Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, on March 3, 2014 in London, England. The experiment measures movement and muscle activity to test if reaching for an object improves a baby's judgement of time. Researchers at the Babylab, which is part of Birkbeck, University of London, study brain and cognitive development in infants from birth through childhood. The scientists use various experiments, often based on simple games, and test the babies' physical or cognitive responses with sensors including: eye-tracking, brain activation and motion capture.
