Erica Flaten (She/Her)
Postdoctoral Fellow in the Infant Studies Centre, University of British Columbia, researching rhythm in early language development 👶🎶🧠
Recently received my PhD at McMaster University, in the Auditory Development Lab.
- Reposted by Erica Flaten (She/Her)1/7 Can infants recognise the world around them? 👶🧠 As part of the FOUNDCOG project, we scanned 134 awake infants using fMRI. Published today in Nature Neuroscience, our research reveals 2-month-old infants already possess complex visual representations in VVC that align with DNNs.
- The last remaining study from my PhD is now out openly in Psychophysiology 🥳🧠🎶🥁 We show novel evidence that the way the adult brain organizes musical rhythms is influenced by complex interactions between attention and enculturated biases. doi.org/10.1111/psyp...

- Another from my PhD out now! We tested infants on their ability to generalize a learned metre to new stimuli at different tempos, measured by EEG responses. Overall, infants failed to generalize, but we found links with music experience and priming. Check it out!👶🧠🎶 doi.org/10.1162/JOCN...
- Reposted by Erica Flaten (She/Her)Happy to share my very first first-author paper! In this study, we show that rhythms can shape how our brains track speech (in very simple words). Work with Marina Kalashnikova, @nicolaml.bsky.social and Mikel Lizarazu. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
- Hey #DevSci #Neuroskyence people, wondering if I know anyone who has experience running combined EEG and Eyetracking with infants and if I could pick your brain on a couple things? 👀🧠👶
- Reposted by Erica Flaten (She/Her)We'll be there! 👇 cuttingeeg.org/practicalmee...

Thoughtful and generative piece on lateralization by @basilpreisig.bsky.social and Martin Meyer. An important perspective on issues that remain complex. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... - Excited for this one! 🧠👶
- Reposted by Erica Flaten (She/Her)It's got a boring title but this preprint is being submitted for Stage 2 consideration at AMPPS, and is in fact very exciting! Karli Nave led a group of labs that replicated an influential EEG study on auditory beat perception by Nozaradan et al. (2011). We found: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

- Anyone in the developmental psychology/infant research community know of any existing parent-report questionnaires on infant babbling (i.e., syllable production), specifically for English families? #DevSci

- Hi hello, asking the community for recommendations of developmental neuroscience books/review papers/chapters that focus on infants' general neural development, particularly ones that include good information on changes in brain activity patterns (e.g., oscillations). Thanks! #neuroscience #DevSci

- Reposted by Erica Flaten (She/Her)Do you teach neuroscience? Here’s a list I’ve compiled of mostly free online neuroscience textbooks, simulations and datasets you can use for your course! If I’m missing something, let me know so I can add it! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

- Another MIMM #neuromusic in the books. Great talks and discussion from Peter Vuust, Jon Cannon, and @psycheloui.bsky.social , a lovely poster session, and what a way to finish the night with a show by the Peter Vuust jazz trio complete with #mocap and #eye-tracking
- Reposted by Erica Flaten (She/Her)I'm excited to share our preprint on musical rhythm processing 🎵🎵 We show that cortical tracking is influenced by pitch predictability, expertise & enjoyment. 💙 Thanks to @johannarimmele.bsky.social @ckeitelsci.bsky.social and all the others in this huge project 💙 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
