Workshop. The conference will focus on research in infant and early child development and reflect the breadth of methods used in this field (e.g., eye tracking and pupil dilation, EEG/ERP, NIRS, computational modeling, physiological measures, fetal imaging).
We are aiming to bring together scientists engaged in cutting edge research and PhD students who are starting their scientific career, as well as to provide an opportunity for training of PhD students and junior researchers.</span></div>
