Audiovisual Object Embeddings over Development

This project investigates how visual and auditory semantic embeddings evolve over the course of development, driven by sensory experiences and learning. The research focuses specifically on how distinct visual and auditory representations independently develop and mature into adult-like semantic spaces. Using behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and neural validation through fMRI and MEG, we aim to characterize developmental trajectories and pinpoint how sensory experience shapes these semantic embeddings. Experiments will utilize real-world stimuli to explore the plasticity of semantic representations. Insights from this project will deepen our understanding of cognitive development
