This study evaluates probe registration accuracy in newborn fNIRS and HD-DOT, showing significant cap misalignment affecting spatial accuracy of functional images.

The study tests the Bouba-Kiki effect in three-day-old chicks, finding they associate spiky shapes with 'Kiki' and round shapes with 'Bouba', suggesting an innate perceptual mechanism.

This study shows that newborns use speaker identity to form distinct verbal memories, as evidenced by neural responses to familiar words despite acoustic interference.

This study investigates how symbolic and non-symbolic numbers influence spatial perception in a number-line bisection task, finding distinct biases for each format.
