First Sight: What Babies See
Most people think that newborn babies are essentially blind,
seeing nothing more than vague shadows of objects. Are they
correct? The presentation will focus on what babies can see
and how we figure that out.
This is a free public lecture.
All are welcome!

on visual development. She also uses neuroimaging techniques
to elucidate the brain mechanisms underlying both normal
and abnormal visual development.
