Carb loading for leg day. All eight of them. 🕷️

Our spider friend is absolute tiny-beast goals. Here is the breakdown of his hiking gear: The Outfit: He is rocking a dark bronze, fuzzy jacket with a mottled, pepper-and-salt pattern across his abdomen. The Boots: His eight legs are long, spindly, and aggressively striped with alternating bands of bright orange-amber and pitch black. He looks like he is wearing designer Halloween socks. The Posture: He is caught mid-climb, perched precariously on a single grain of rice. His front legs are lifted slightly, perfectly capturing that classic "Where on earth am I, and why is my floor moving?" look. *This bronze jumping spider is still roaming alive and free someplace in the house. Definitely wild and definitely not a pet.

Excited to share our recent article in Developmental Science!

We benchmark 13 face detection algorithms on egocentric developmental datasets and introduce the TinyExplorer Detection App to support accessible and privacy-conscious machine learning workflows in developmental research.
Making Machine Learning Accessible for Developmental Science: The Case of Automated Face Detection
The last decade has seen rapid advancements in machine learning, significantly transforming fields like cybersecurity and healthcare. Developmental science has been slower to adopt these technologies...

Cardiff Babylab is excited to launch a new, remote study for medical and allied health professionals in the UK!

We are inviting professionals to give their thoughts on integrating wearable head cameras into their practice.

Find out more: www.cardiff-babylab.com/tinyexplorer...
Dark blue background to the left of image with Cardiff University logo in top left corner, red Babylab dragon and ident to the centre. Cream box overlays the blue background. Centred dark blue text reads "are you a medical or allied health professional based in the UK? Do you work with children with Down syndrome under 5? We want to hear your thoughts on using wearable head-mounted cameras in your practice". A QR code to the bottom left with dark blue text that reads "Find out more about our new remote study using the QR code or link in the caption" Right side of image shows a young child with Down syndrome in a light blue t-shirt with the Babylab Dragon and text reading “Little Scientist”. She is wearing a soft, light blue foam helmet with a small camera attached to the front, just above eye level.

Happy New Year from all of us at Cardiff Babylab! 🎉 🎆

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the little scientists and families who took part last year! Our research would not be possible without you!

We’ve got exciting things planned for the year ahead! Keep an eye on our socials for more!
Cream background with many yellow fireworks in the upper third. Over the top of this is a red box containing white writing reading “Happy New Year!”. Three polaroid-style photos of varying sizes are in the middle. The first shows a child, wearing the TinyExplorer head gear, with his arms up in the air. The third photo shows a child, wearing the TinyExplorer head gear, looking at his reflection in a mirror. The final photo shows a child, wearing the TinyExplorer head gear, playing with toys at a table. The Babylab ident is in the bottom left corner.

Do you work with children with Down syndrome under the age of 5?

We are inviting health care practitioners to share their views in a short online survey. Your insights will help explore how headcams could support and enhance clinical practice.

Last Wednesday the Babylab headed over to Abacws for Hana and Craig’s talks about our TinyExplorer headcams and how our research integrates developmental science and machine learning.

Thank you to everyone who attended! And a massive thank you to Hana and Craig for giving amazing presentations!
A cream background with large red circles in the top right corner, bottom right corner, bottom left corner, and midway on the left edge. In the top left corner are three logos: the Cardiff University logo, the CUCHDS logo and the Cardiff Babylab ident. Beneath this is a blue rectangular shape containing white text which reads: “Action in Early Development: Machine learning insights from headcams”. In the bottom right corner of this rectangle is a yellow graphic of a camera. Beneath this is a photo of Hana giving the talk, stood to the left of a screen. Below this and to the left is a blue square with white text which reads, “Thank you Hana and Craig for a brilliant talk!”. To the right of this is a photo of Craig giving the talk.

Last week, the Cardiff Babylab attended the BPS Developmental Psychology Section Annual Conference 2026, held at Durham University.

Dr Hana D’Souza gave a keynote talk - Stop trying to carve Nature at its joints! Towards a process-based science of early neurodiversity.
