Recent Adventures

I don't have pictures, but I recently had my brain waves studied at Harvard. I got to wear a mesh cap covered in little sponges that were soaked in a saline solution. They showed me pictures of different numbers of dots. They want to understand how humans innately understand math/numbers so they can adjust math teaching accordingly. (Or so they say). They said I was an amazing subject as I made it through the full 4 minutes with minimal squirming - apparently most babies lose interest quicker than that. For my efforts, I got another of those Harvard t-shirts Grandma/Grandpa don't like. They should send me a Yale one to counteract the bad influence;)
