Nonlinear acoustic phenomena tune the adults’ facial thermal response to baby cries with the cry amplitude envelope Open
Getting caregivers to respond to their pain cries is vital for the human baby. Previous studies have shown that certain features of baby cries—the nonlinear phenomena (NLP)—enable caregivers to assess the pain felt by the baby. However, th…

Nonlinear acoustic phenomena affect the perception of pain in human baby cries Open
What makes the painful cries of human babies so difficult to ignore? Vocal traits known as 'nonlinear phenomena’ are prime candidates. These acoustic irregularities are common in babies’ cries and are typically associated with high levels …

Old but attuned: the ability to decode babies’ cries does not decline with age Open
In most human societies, grandparents often provide substantial care and support for their grandchildren, including as babies. Given that previous studies have shown that ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in our ability to identif…

Investigating brain dysfunction in neuropathic pain with MRI Open
Neuropathic pain is a severe chronic disease following nervous system lesions. Allodynia is a main symptom of neuropathic pain, and it can be easily triggered by normally innocuous stimuli inside a functional MRI magnet. In this new series…

Cracking the code of crying babies : how adults learn to understand the baby’s pain Open
Babies crying is an essential signal to elicit care, conveying both information on the baby’s identity and current physiological state (discomfort, hunger or pain). The aim of my thesis is to investigate how adults perceive information con…
