Attaching lots of wires to an infant’s head has resulted in some fascinating discoveries about the minds of the very young :

    …from the moment we first open our eyes, we possess the essential mental equipment to make sense of the confusion around us.
    We are natural-born mathematicians - for example, six-month-olds can distinguish the quantities eight from 16, and 16 from 32. Babies will infer that a rolling ball will keep moving. They also know that when that ball rolls behind a screen it should pop out the other side. And although they can only babble, babies tell us that the germ of our instincts about age, gender and race are laid down in the cradle.

Hopefully we will never learn what babies really think about all those people looming into view pulling stupid faces and talking in weird, high-pitched voices.
