fMRI

Babies have memories so why can’t we?

A Yale University study has claimed that fMRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans of babies can help them identify their first memories. Researchers inserted a fMRI bottle in the baby’s mouth to show them images that they had never seen before, including a dog toy, a woman’s face, and a canyon near a waterfall, among others. The babies showed a higher level of activity during the scans.
