Uncovering the roots of social intelligence

I study the early emergence of the social and emotional abilities that enable us to interact with others and make sense of their social behavior.
My research focuses on the brain processes that underpin social interaction and cognition during infancy and early childhood. I study the development of social brain functions across a range of situations in which infants can glean information from various sources, such as faces, voices, or motion. I also aim to understand how social development varies across infants and what genetic and environmental factors give rise to such individual differences.
