Welcome to Durham University’s Babylab! 😃

We conduct exciting research studies investigating a range of topics associated with child development such as word learning, tiredness and numeracy. We specialise in eye-tracking and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).

I had a fantastic time at the two-day Machine Learning Workshop at the University of East London, funded by COST Action! It was great to meet new people, learn about their research, and get hands-on with practical activities using Google Colab.
