For part of the UMass Amherst study of infants and recognition of individuals of other races, a net of recording sensors was placed on the infant’s head to record brain activity while they viewed own-race and other-race emotion faces (happy, sad) that either matched or did not match a corresponding emotion sound (laughing, crying). This measure helps researchers understand how the brain develops in response to experience during the first year of life.
