Here's some more I, Robot findings for you, Dom, this time of the nicest
possible kind (in other words: potentially terrifying)

"While the researchers recorded participants' brain activity, the
participants did not speak or move. Yet their brain activity was typical of
patterns preceding such actions as picking up or talking to an infant, the
researchers explained. The activity pattern could represent a biological
impulse that governs adults' interactions with small children.
From their study results, the researchers concluded that this pattern is
specific to seeing human infants. The pattern did not appear when the
participants looked at photos of adults or of animals -- even baby animals."
