Communicative signals such as eye contact increase infants' brain activation to visual stimuli
and promote joint attention. Our study assessed whether communicative signals during joint …

Intellectual functioning is a critical determinant of economic and personal productivity.
Identifying early neural predictors of cognitive function in infancy will allow us to map the …

Young infants learn about the world by overtly shifting their attention to perceptually salient
events. In adults, attention recruits several brain regions spanning the frontal and parietal …

In the present study we examined the neural correlates of facial emotion processing in the
