Abstract

Capturing developmental and learning-induced brain dynamicsis extremely challenging as changes occur interactively acrossmultiple levels and emerging functions. Different levels include the (social) environment, cognitive and behavioral levels,structural and functional brain changes, and genetics, while functions include domains such as math, reading, and executivefunction. Here, we report the insights that emerged from the workshop“Capturing Developmental Brain Dynamics”,organizedto bring together multidisciplinary approaches to integrate data on development and learning across different levels, functions,and time points. During the workshop, current main gaps in our knowledge and tools were identified including the need for: (1)common frameworks, (2) longitudinal, large-scale, multisite studies using representative participant samples, (3) understandinginterindividual variability, (4) explicit distinction of understanding versus predicting, and (5) reproducible research. Afterillustrating interactions across levels and functions during development, we discuss the identified gaps and provide solutions toadvance the capturing of developmental brain dynamics
