This three-day conference in September 2018 will run from Wednesday morning until Friday afternoon and will be preceded by an optional one day Methods Workshop. The conference will focus on research in infant and early child development and reflect the breadth
of methods used in this field (e.g., eye tracking and pupil dilation, EEG/ERP, fNIRS, computational modeling, physiological measures, fetal imaging). We are aiming to bring together scientists engaged in cutting edge research and PhD students who are starting
their scientific career, as well as to provide an opportunity for training of PhD students and junior researchers.<br class="">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">This conference is being organized as part of a £1 million grant from the Leverhulme Trust supporting a Doctoral Scholarship Programme in Interdisciplinary Research on Infant Development at Lancaster
University. This scheme will provide a total of 22 PhD studentships over five years (with the third cohort just having started), together with associated activities. <br class="">
