6 yrs ago Nancy Kanwisher @[email protected] Sam Norman-Haignere & I decided to study early cortical responses to music & speech. I am excited to announce that our paper, “Preliminary evidence for selective cortical responses to music in one-month-old infants” has been published! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

So excited this paper is finally out! 🎉 A wonderful collaborative effort (started in my 1st year of grad school) with Anila D'Mello Kristy Johnson and John Gabrieli to study how kids' brains respond to stories about their interests: doi.org/10.1162/imag_a…

Thrilled that this wonderful paper is finally out - a journey we started pre-pandemic in 2018 with Halie Olson and Kristy Johnson. Although seemingly intuitive, the results of this paper were a surprise to us authors in many ways. 🧵below:
