Infant Grasping and Neural Body Maps: Insights from Citizen Science and Computer Vision

Saturday, May 24, 2025 · Washington, DC

Oral · Developmental

This study relates the development of grasping behavior to neural body representations in infants from 6-14 months. Combining a smartphone app for video collection by caregivers, a new computer vision tool (HaMeR) and EEG methods, we document fine-grained developmental changes in grasping in relation to neural representations of infant fingers.
