A baby may not say much - but their brain might be telling a different story. In recent studies, researchers observed early activation in brain regions tied to language, executive function, and even social awareness - before children can even speak.
One experiment showed babies influencing adult behavior during shared play, with both brains tracking each other’s reactions in real time. In another, mothers and infants synced up their brain waves in warm, connected moments - pointing to a shared system for learning through interaction.
These early patterns may not look like “thinking” as adults experience it - but they offer powerful clues about how we begin to understand the world.
