Really happy 🥳 to share our paper with Jérôme Prado  «Nurturing the reading brain: home literacy practices are associated with children’s neural response to printed words through vocabulary skills » which is officially published at nature.com/articles/s4153… . Thread 👇

Our new preprint on bioRxiv: Preserved representations and decodability of diverse cognitive functions across the cortex, cerebellum, and subcortex biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Our paper „Acquisition of mathematical and linguistic skills in children with learning difficulties“ has been finally published 😊 - we have compared the development of children with different LD spanning age 4-10 based on NEPS data frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Lynn et al. (Cereb Cortex, 2021) Children's Math skills (8-10yo) were predicted from functional connectivity during symbolic math task and resting fMRI, but not that from the non-symbolic task. Predictive connections were distinct across tasks. academic.oup.com/cercor/advance…

The call for submissions for #MCLS2022 in Ghent, Belgium is now open, and the deadline is February 11th, 2022! For more information: the-mcls.org/conferences/mc…

We built and tested a teacher-led educational program to improve #body representation in #preschool. / Nous avons testé pour vous un programme d'entrainement aux représentations du #corps en #maternelle @INSPELyon GDMater69 and guess what? / devinez quoi?👇🧵

NEW FINDING: Cash support for low-income families changes their infants' brain activity. The first study from our #BabysFirstYears randomized control trial of poverty reduction is out, in @PNASnews. pnas.org/content/119/5/… ( 🧵)

A post-doctoral position is open in the Brain Development Laboratory focusing on the neural basis of language delay in preschoolers. Please send letter of interest, resume, and contact information for three references to James R. Booth at [email protected] by May 15th.

We uploaded a new preprint!! We constructed voxel-wise encoding models of math problem solving. These models predicted brain activity in a format-invariant manner (symbolic and natural language). Brain representations of math problems were similar across the different formats.

In Neuron we (+ @gordonneuro + Steve Nelson) wrote up some of our thoughts on Scott Marek & Brenden Tervo-Clemmens's paper on reproducibility of 🧠-behavior associations. cell.com/neuron/fulltex… We argue that there are 2 paths forward for robust human neuro research...

We uploaded a new preprint!! Latent features extracted from a transformer model explained brain activity patterns of different mathematical operations.

Thrilled to announce a series of interdisciplinary online seminars about the cognitive science of social inequalities, co-organized by the CRNL and the Centre Experice, beginning in January 2023. Please share! For details and registration, visit ⬇ forms.gle/gYoE9dWLwPZett…

We've just published a paper in Psychological Review on the origins of arithmetic. Why are addition and multiplication its fundamental operations? The answer may surprise you! open access: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2023-… Marsden Fund APA Journals University of Canterbury MCLS

doi.org/10.1016/j.lind… New paper out with Jérôme Prado ✨✨. In our pre-registered study in 5-year-old children, we tested prevalent models of the HNE via a parental questionnaire and a direct measure of parental number talk during a free-play session. authors.elsevier.com/a/1hNi63irP4DC…

#CNRSinsolite | Les Visites insolites du CNRS 🌍 continuent avec une excursion à la Plateforme neurosciences et enfants du #CRNL 👉elle permet l’étude du développement du #cerveau et des fonctions #cognitives des enfants avec ou sans troubles des #apprentissages ou pathologies 🧠👀

Our new article is out in Imaging Neuroscience! direct.mit.edu/imag/article/d… This is a comprehensive review of recent research applying machine learning and neuroimaging to education and learning disabilities.

Thank you, NPR for interviewing Catherine THEVENOT (Université de Lausanne) and highlighting her team's new research in #ChildDevelopment Journal on finger counting: npr.org/2024/09/19/nx-…
