"Early Social Interaction Boosts Language Development in Babies"

A study from the University of Washington's Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS) using magnetoencephalography (MEG) found that social interactions with adults, characterized by "parentese," smiles, and eye contact, significantly impact infant brain development and language growth. Enhanced brain activity from social interactions at 5 months correlates with better language skills up to 2.5 years old, highlighting the importance of early social engagement in strengthening the parent-child bond and playing a crucial role in the child’s linguistic and cognitive development.

Decoding Hand Gestures with Non-Invasive Brain Imaging

Researchers have developed a non-invasive method to identify hand gestures through brain imaging using magnetoencephalography (MEG). The technique could contribute to the evolution of brain-computer interfaces, which could help individuals with physical challenges to control supportive devices using their minds. MEG measurements from only half of the brain regions sampled yielded nearly comparable results, suggesting future MEG helmets might require fewer sensors. The researchers successfully used non-invasive MEG to distinguish different hand gestures with over 85% accuracy, representing the most successful non-invasive single-hand gesture differentiation achieved to date.
