How do we learn to talk? When do babies first understand language? And how do scientists study language learning in the lab?   In this Focus episode of How We’re Wired, join producer Dr Eva Higginbotham as she visits the Oxford Brookes Babylab to understand how babies make sense of what we say, including watching real-life language experiments with infants and trying to interview a 9-month-old.   With special thanks to Alice, her son, and Nayeli Gonzalez-Gomez.  How We’re Wired is a Fresh Air Production for The Bertarelli Foundation.

Focus – Learning Language

Love. Touch. Speech. Movement. Consciousness.
What do they all have in common?
From before birth to after death, our brains underpin our experiences and feelings. They make us who we are. But how?
In How We’re Wired, evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin goes behind the scenes of cutting-edge neuroscience research to uncover the fascinating stories of how our brains grow, change, and ultimately die.
Together, we’ll meet the scientists exploding our understanding of how the brain works and head into labs developing life-changing technologies. From hormones to heartbreak, we’re exploring true, personal stories of people’s lives – and brains - from birth to death, taking a deep look at the science that explains us all.
