Special Issue: Dynamics in Complex Systems: From Neurosciences to Psychiatry (JoVE)
by DEPANNEMAECKER Damien Sept. 10, 2025

Sept. 10, 2025

Dear all, We invite you to submit your work to our JoVE special issue<https://app.jove.com/fr/methods-collections/4215/dynamical-systems-approach…>, which will include an associated video demonstration to showcase your research. This Special Issue<https://app.jove.com/fr/methods-collections/4215/dynamical-systems-approach…>, “Dynamics in Complex Systems: From Neurosciences to Psychiatry”, explores how dynamical systems models can illuminate the complex, time-evolving processes underlying brain function and psychiatric disorders. From molecular interactions to large-scale brain networks and symptom dynamics, contributions will address how non-linear, multi-scale dynamics shape cognition, behavior, and mental health. We invite original research, reviews, and methodological papers focusing on dynamic processes across scales, including neural network oscillations, brain-behavior interactions, symptom networks in psychiatry, and clinical time-series analyses. Emphasis is placed on integrative approaches that bridge basic neuroscience and clinical applications. Both new results and methodological articles will be considered. Best, Christophe Gauld and Damien Depannemaecker link to the journal page: https://app.jove.com/fr/methods-collections/4215/dynamical-systems-approach… About JoVE: JoVE publishes methods, original research, case presentations and review articles. First, an author submits a manuscript, including a step-by-step protocol. For a method or case presentation the text of the manuscript needs to be novel; however, the results are representative and can be republished with appropriate permission. For an original research article, the text and the findings must be novel. Next, the manuscript is peer-reviewed. Please note that videos for original research articles and case reports are created only when the methods used require visual demonstration. If a video is not required, they will be published as text-only articles. There is no video created for a review article. However, there will be a video playlist on their article's webpage. This playlist will highlight JoVE videos that are relevant to the topic of the review. When authors submit it to our official submission site, they'll be asked to suggest some relevant videos for the playlist. Authors can provide some suggestions of relevant recent JoVE videos (2022-2025) based on their planned review topic for the playlist. If accepted, those that require a video will be turned into a script by our PhD-level science writers. A videographer will then come to your location for one day and film your protocol or video. Once filming is complete, the footage comes back to our video team who will do all the post-production work. The article is indexed in Web of Science, PubMed, SciFinder, and Scopus. This is the link to our publishing process and costs<https://1bdf5d0c.streaklinks.com/CkA1qpFLy5cdf8poxwvcLZDI/https%3A%2F%2Fwww…>. The fee is used to offset the costs involved in filming and post production (scripting, editing, professional voice over etc.). You will receive a copy of the video article that can be shared or linked to your website and used for training purposes. The costs for publishing are as follows.

Uri Hasson speaking on September 25 in Developing Minds global online lecture series
by Jochen Triesch Sept. 8, 2025

Sept. 8, 2025

Dear colleagues, On September 25, the Developing Minds global online lecture series is proud to host Uri Hasson from Princeton University, USA, speaking on: "Developing cognitively feasible learning agents that can acquire language like children through real-life experiences“. Thursday, September 25, 2025: 9:00 am EST (Eastern Standard Time, US) 14:00 UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) 15:00 CET (Central European Time) 22:00 JST (Japan Standard Time) The zoom link/credentials are: https://uni-frankfurt.zoom-x.de/j/65594262654?pwd=2BdrxR1IvUy2rjn3dDmfEVGXy… Meeting-ID: 655 9426 2654 Access code: 141793 Abstract: Understanding how humans learn to think, speak, and interact in natural environments is one of the most significant scientific challenges. Traditional computational models perform well in artificial tasks but struggle to generalize to real-life ecological situations. In contrast, new deep learning models excel at processing real-world information and demonstrate cognitive abilities close to those of humans. However, these models are trained on impractically large datasets and use training protocols that are not cognitively feasible, which limits their ability to explain or predict human learning and cognitive development. This project aims to develop the first cognitively feasible learning agents—AI systems that learn language and cognition within constraints that mimic human development. Leveraging a unique dataset (the 1kD corpus)— continuous daily audio-visual recordings from 18 children’s first 1,000 days of life—we will train models directly on the ecologically valid, socially embedded experiences that shape children’s growth. Unlike large-scale industrial models, which depend on vast impersonal datasets, our approach emphasizes individual-centered, real-world input that captures the long-tail variability of human development. By replicating learning trajectories across multiple households, we will establish the first mechanistic framework for how natural input shapes children’s cognition. The project represents a bold shift from analyzing existing models to building new brain-inspired learning agents, directly addressing ecological validity and laying the foundation for a new generation of cognitive science. Short Bio: Uri Hasson grew up in Jerusalem. He studied philosophy and cognitive sciences at the Hebrew University as an undergrad. He completed his Ph.D. in Neurobiology at the Weizmann Institute in Israel and was a postdoctoral fellow at NYU before moving to Princeton. He is currently a Professor in the Psychology Department and the Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University. His research program aims to understand the neural basis of face-to-face, brain-to-brain, communication in real-world contexts, using big ECoG data and deep language models. The talk will be recorded and made available for later viewing.
