Welcome! At the Oxford Brookes University Babylab, which was set up in early 2009, we study how children learn about the world around them. We are particularly interested in how language affects the way in which babies group objects together, and how babies understand emotions.

We are always very intersted in recruiting new children for our studies. If you would like to visit us and let your child participate in our studies please see the parents page.

Babylab Coffee Mornings

The next coffee morning is on Thursday 29th March 2012, 9:30-12:00.

Every last Thursday of the month (term time only) from 9:30-12:00 we host a coffee and play morning. This is held in the Babylab which is at Oxford Brookes University, Gipsy Lane Campus in the Buckley building. Everyone is welcome and you could even bring a friend, relative, or your whole NCT group as happened in the past! There is no obligation to take part in any research by attending. It's simply a chance to socialise with other parents/carers and, if you are interested, find out about some of our exciting research on child development. There will be plenty of toys, coffee/juice/cakes, and a relaxed atmosphere in which to feed your child and space to leave buggies. Unfortunately there is no parking on site, but there are some limited 2-hour slots in the surrounding streets. 

If you would like to be informed of future events, please keep an eye on these pages, , register with us, or join our Facebook group.

Our research is funded by the ESRC and the British Academy.
