The study was a replication and extension of Cacchione et al 2011. They discovered that babies prefer Picasso to Monet. We decided to double check this and use a neural net style transfer to create a Monet-style Picassos and Picasso style Monets.

It's my last day at @GoldsmithsUoL 😔
Very pleased it included two babies visiting the @InfantLab to take part in an MSc project about baby art appreciation. 😍
Thanks to Nell it being such a cheerful little infant scientist. Thanks to Nazli for being a great research student

Katlab has left its comfort zone and joined this exciting project on changing minds about sustainability! Please fill in our first, teeny-tiny survey. It takes less than 3 minutes.
Did you know the fashion industry is the 2nd largest polluter in the world, just after the oil industry.
Take part in this 2-min anonymous survey and help us develop new technologies that change how we produce and consume fashion: tinyurl.com/y6tvmpf6
We're back!
Melissa and baby Aster (8m) were the first visitors to @GoldsmithsUoL InfantLab since the pandemic.
They took part in @zelish_k's new study of infant responses to music. Aster was asleep when she arrived but soon warmed up. She really liked her new t-shirt.
Any 6-11 month old babies living near New Cross?
You could take part too.
Study is fun & simple, visits take less than an hour, you help science and get the t-shirt!

Did you know that we have babies to thank for our big brains and our long lives? They helped in the birth of art and science and they know the most important secrets of happiness.
This short video explains it all.

Does your baby like to dance? 👶🎶
A few years ago we helped @imogenheap create a song to make babies happy. Today we launch a fun study familes can do at home to see how babies learn to dance to The Happy Song.
For 6 to 19 months olds.
Please retweet.

Had a fanastic conversation about Baby Psychology with Dr Nick Fortino for his "Psychology Is" podcast. It was great to be able to talk at length and in depth about the serious science of laughing babies. Nick is a great interviewer.

We have two online studies that you can do at home.
1.
Dr Evelyne Mercure has a questionnaire study looking at language development and maternal well-being during lockdown. It is mostly appropriate for mothers of babies between 12 and 24 months.

2. We have teamed up with @CamBabylab to create a fun video study of toddlers drumming abilities. We’re looking for families with children aged 2 – 2.5 years to take part.
This helps us learn how controlling rhythm is related other developing skills.

My standard response when I'm invited to editorial boards without recompense. I don't think working for free as a highly trained professional is or should be normal, & I think we need to continue to call this out clearly. The more of us do, the more likely things will change. 1/2
