BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying. Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt. Here's what 4 months of data revealed: (hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

Well done to Christina Davidson 🧠 for passing her PhD viva today! Her work from Project NeuroSync @Nottingham looked at longitudinal changes in different types of caregiver-infant play interactions and links to infant visual working memory.

Liu et al. (2025): At 12mos, preterm infants spent most of their time interacting w/ objects, and parents were often engaged. Freq of infant-object interaction bouts per minute at 12mos was negatively associated w/ 30mo cognitive scores #infancypapers doi.org/10.1111/infa.7…

Great to be at #ECP2025 and present talks on caregiver-infant interactions, cross-cultural findings in UK and India and computational modelling of caregiver and infant visual cognition.
