A Rational Information Gathering Account of Infant Habituation

This paper presents a computational theory of infant gaze based on rational information gathering, showing that gaze preference is nonmonotonic with exposure due to the interplay of stimulus informativeness and future utility.

Attrition Rate in Infant fNIRS Research: A Meta-Analysis

This paper conducts a meta-analysis of infant fNIRS research to identify attrition rate trends and predictors, finding an average attrition rate of 34.23% and recommending strategies to reduce it.

Sequence learning attenuates cortical responses in both frontal and perceptual cortices in early infancy

This study shows that sequential learning in infants involves frontal lobe modulation and corresponding reduced responses in posterior perceptual cortices to predictable stimuli.

Video-based motion-resilient reconstruction of 3D position for fNIRS and EEG head mounted probes

This paper introduces a video-based method to estimate probe positions on the scalp for EEG and fNIRS, showing it is reliable, fast, and suitable for infants.
