Additional information
We have shown, for the first time, that infants as young as 5 months of age have a specialized cortical area for processing social dynamic stimuli. This has direct implications in understanding the underlying mechanisms for conditions such as autism. This work also established optical topography as a key technology with which to characterise the cognitive pathways in the developing brain of young infants in whom the use of other neuroimaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging is severely restricted. I lead physics and engineering component of this project, specifically developing near infrared spectroscopy data acquisition and analysis methodologies.
