Brain researcher and professor of neuropsychology Audrey van der Meer looks on as Baby Live uses a kind of baby skateboard to move towards her mother, Ina. Live isn’t crawling yet, so scooting along on the skateboard is a new kind of movement for the five-month-old. The cap that Live is wearing enables researchers to measure what is happening in her brain as she for the first time moves in this new way.
