Goldsmiths Infantlab

[Yak]

I've been meaning to post about this for ages, but only just got round to it. If you're interested in child development and all things sciency, Goldsmiths University have a child development unit called InfantLab which you can volunteer to take part in various research projects to learn more about brain development in babies and children. The Yaklet did one last week which was basically playing a game with some toys while wearing one of those hair nets to monitor brain activity. He had a great time and just flirted outrageously with the researchers, and was given a bib, thank you card and a small present for taking part.

You can register without absolutely any obligation to take part in a research project, and there are FAQs on the website about the Lab and what happens if you participate etc.

Bugglet did this a few months back - was really interesting, only took an hour and the researchers are lovely

and very baby/child focused.
