| Research Abstract |
Dynamic features of spontaneous activity of the brain and body movements in early infancy are considered to constrain the cognitive development. We revealed the developmental processes for functional regions and networks of the brain in relation to audio-visual and language processing by using NIRS imaging. We also demonstrated that cognitive behavioral changes emerge through spontaneous movements. We further showed the evidence of the relationship between early spontaneous movements and later developmental outcomes. These findings contribute to understand the developmental issues such as domain-specific vs. general, changes over multiple time scales and emergence of prospectiveness.
