Use of brain information to understand mental process in preverbal infants

这项研究使用近红外光谱分析了大脑活动和心理活动之间的关系，比如幼儿的喜好。此外，这项研究的目的是从这些大脑信息中破译大脑活动。结果表明，儿童初级运动皮质的激活与他们对人类的偏好有关。此外，结果显示，儿童的运动信息可以从初级运动皮质的激活中解码出来。

The present study examined relationships between brain activations and mental activities, such as preferences in young children using near-infrared spectroscopy. Moreover, this study aimed to decode the mental activities from such brain information. As the results, we showed that children's activations in the primary motor cortex were related to their preferences to humans. In addition, the results revealed that children's motor information can be decoded from the activations in the primary motor cortex.
