Many of the lab members had presentations at the 2020 International Conference on Infant Studies, which was this year held virtually because of the COVID-19 situation. Gert gave a talk on using computational models in developmental research, and Marina, Szilvi, Xiaoyun, Shirly and Didar had poster presentations on their research.
Marina passed her viva today and is now Dr. Bazhydai. Many congratulations from the lab!
Sadly, because of coronavirus, we have to cancel LCICD this year, but we hope to be back in 2021!

Given that electroencephalography (EEG) has been broadly used to study infant brain development and our eager-learner colleagues in the psychology department are very keen to learn this method, Szilvia Linnert held an EEG workshop and shared her experiences on infant and adult EEG research that she has been working on for a few years. From shallow…
Marina Bazhydai presented at the Lancaster Univerisity’s Annual FST conference, with a 3-minute flash talk entitled: Active information seeking in infancy: “I don’t know but I know who to ask”.
Another successful home-based conference LCICD was hold from 21st to 23rd August, where research flourishes and lab members presented their exciting infancy research. Special thanks to the invited speakers, Victoria Southgate, Catherine Tamis-LeMonda, and Kim Plunkett for sharing with us the valuable research that they are currently doing. Thank you to everyone who attended for…
Our lovely PhDsisters — Shirley Cheung and Marina Loucaides passed their Viva with minor correction! Congratulations to Dr. Cheung and Dr. Loucaides! For Shirley’s PhD, she explored phonemic perception in monolinguals and bilinguals using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Here is what she said after her viva: This is a moment where I can truly…
