DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.02.045
Abstract: The extent to which young human infants are conscious, in the sense of being perceptually aware of their environment, has been long debated. A new study has revealed that infants do exhibit a key signature… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2020.07.007
Abstract: The human tactile system is known to discriminate different types of touches, one of these termed 'affective touch', is mainly mediated by slow conducting tactile afferents (CT fibres), which are preferentially activated by slow and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-88898-x
Abstract: Possessiveness toward objects and sharing are competing tendencies that influence dyadic and group interactions within the primate lineage. A distinctive form of sharing in adult Homo sapiens involves active giving of high-valued possessions to others,… read more here.

Perception of an object’s global shape is best described by a model of skeletal structure in human infants

DOI: 10.7554/elife.74943
Abstract: Categorization of everyday objects requires that humans form representations of shape that are tolerant to variations among exemplars. Yet, how such invariant shape representations develop remains poorly understood. By comparing human infants (6–12 months; N=82)… read more here.
