We found that the patterns of longitudinal change in neural network dynamics predicted psychosocial outcomes five years later in young adulthood.<br>\r\nWe found that “transcendent thinking” – seeing situations not just in terms of X happened to person A, which makes me feel thusly, but in terms of the larger societal and contextual forces that shaped how Person A was treated and how Person A reacted, the broader implications and lessons one can draw from that situation, and the larger issues it exemplifies or reveals—correlated with a particular set of neural activity dynamics and predicted future structural and functional neural development across the subsequent two years, controlling for the starting state of neural development, and independent of IQ and SES. Transcendent thinking also countered negative effects of exposure to community violence on structural brain development.<br>\r\nThe neural development predicted by transcendent thinking (the changes in the brain across the 2-year period) in turn predicted young adult identity strength, self-liking, relationship satisfaction, and achievement 5 years later.<br>\r\nThese findings reveal a novel predictor of neural development across mid-adolescence, and underscore the active role adolescents play in their own brain development through the meaning they make of the social world. Implications for secondary education and pedagogy will be discussed.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "Visitors Talk: Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, University of Southern California", "creation_date": "2026-03-25T12:31:22", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-25T12:31:38", "link_label": "Website of the event", "link_url": "https://cibm.ch/event/visitors-talk-mary-helen-immordino-yang-university-of-southern-california/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CH F1 614", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CH%20F1%20614", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/J9fJmYSQStOHtZMlxhTgaw", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<strong>Mary Helen Immordino-Yang,</strong> University of Southern California", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://cibm.ch\">CIBM Center for Biomedical Imaging</a>", "contact": "Miguel Molina, CIBM Media & Events Manager", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "neuroscience, psycology, education", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120181/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/284/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71516, "title": "Xenon Dynamic Nuclear Polarization: from Spin Dynamics to In-Vivo Applications", "slug": "xenon-dynamic-nuclear-polarization-from-spin-dyn-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/xenon-dynamic-nuclear-polarization-from-spin-dyn-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32852/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32852/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32852/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-24", "end_date": "2026-04-24", "start_time": "17:00:00", "end_time": null, "description": "<p>Thesis Directors: Prof. R.

During the workshop, we will review and explain the main steps of a machine learning-based computer vision project, from problem definition to image acquisition, annotation, training, validation, and inference. We will illustrate these steps in a practical way, by building a real computer vision application together until we can run it live on a camera. Along the way, we will discuss important concepts (data drift, overfitting, data augmentation) and observe how they manifest themselves in practice.

To obtain thin samples from biological tissue and cells in their flash-frozen native state, cryo-FIB milling is nowadays the most popular method, with impressive successes. The alternative, cryo-ultramicrotomy - also known as CEMOVIS - has been overshadowed because of (i) technical difficulties associated to cryo-section generation and collection - in particular the lack of control over adhesion; and (ii) crevasses and compression artefacts.<br>\r\nI will present recent developments with optimization of the experimental workflow, focusing on section adhesion and their support grids. These result in high throughput data acquisition, with typically several tens to hundreds of cryo-tomograms per sample. Revisiting cutting artefacts shows that crevasses alter but 10 % of the sample volume. Compression is heterogeneous, with scale and material-dependent effects. This is altogether a drawback – with no simple computational correction – and an advantage for projects dedicated to non-(or little)-affected objects such as nucleosomes and chromatin.<br>\r\nAltogether, it is time to revive CEMOVIS as a practical alternative to cryo-FIB milling, offering specific advantages: (i) imaging of large areas of any type of sample, from cells to tissues, organs or even entire organisms – and more generally all kinds of hydrated molecular systems ; (ii) the possibility of serial section approaches ; (iii) no beam damage ; and (iv) a specimen thickness that can be tuned down to 30-50 nm, which may be an advantage for high resolution imaging of small molecular complexes.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nAmélie Leforestier is a CNRS research director at the Solid-State Physics Laboratory (LPS, Paris-Saclay, France).

Alongside a 'plurality of time', we are interested in the 'plurality of space'. Rather than transparency, it is the arrangement of different worlds face-to-face or side-by-side that creates this impression of density and richness in relationships.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTo craft sustainable development, we believe that, alongside a body of fundamental knowledge, a spirit can be cultivated through tireless attempts, including failure, to develop a 'knowledge of the hand' capable of finding new forms of expression. The countless experiences that we have accumulated at MANSLAB over the past 15 years can undoubtedly be best recounted in the form of anecdotes. An anecdote is a historical detail or a characteristic of customs or character that becomes a short, entertaining story evoking emotions such as laughter or horror.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe students’ work that I am about to present illustrates certain tested, refined and proven principles, such as the indestructible link between ideas and the hand through the slow and joyful acquisition of knowledge; the economy of means to highlight the essential; errors and non-linearity as inspiring methods in the design process; and the cultivation of empirical, manual and physical knowledge that prioritises grasping sensory, supra-sensory and memory-based reality and is capable of creating new spaces. The launch of the book ANEKDOTA will take place at the same event.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u><strong>About the speaker:</strong></u><br>\r\nMarco Bakker is born in Harlingen, Netherlands, in 1960. He first earned a degree in Civil Engineering from HTS Leeuwarden, before continuing his studies in Architecture and Urban Planning at Delft University of Technology, including spending a year abroad at EPFL. Following four years of experimentation in architecture and photography, he founded the firm Bakker & Blanc Architects (BABL) with Alexandre Blanc in 1992. At the same time, he worked as an assistant to Prof. Vincent Mangeat and visiting professor Kaschka Knapkiewicz at EPFL. From 2003 to 2009, he taught architectural design and theory at the BFH in Burgdorf. Following four years as visiting professors together with Alexandre Blanc, they were appointed associate professors at the EPFL Institute of Architecture within the 'MANSLAB, Laboratory of Spatial Manufacturing' chair from 2013 to 2025.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nHe also served on the Arts and Architecture Commission of the Canton of Bern and was a member of the editorial board of Werk-Bauen & Wohnen. He chaired the jury for the Swiss Pavilion at the Venice Biennale on behalf of Pro Helvetia. Marco Bakker also regularly participates in various photographic and editorial projects related to art and architecture.<br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-26T14:49:29", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-26T16:15:54", "link_label": "S'inscrire", "link_url": "http://shorturl.at/Zatib", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SG 1138", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%201138", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Prof. Marco Bakker", "organizer": "IA - Gesualdo Casciana", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120198/", "category": { "id": 8, "code": "LI", "fr_label": "Leçons inaugurales - Leçons d'honneur", "en_label": "Inaugural lectures - Honorary Lecture", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 59210, "title": "SNSF Starting Grants 2025", "slug": "snsf-starting-grants-2025", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/snsf-starting-grants-2025", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/21461/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/21461/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/21461/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-05", "end_date": "2026-05-05", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<p>The call <a href=\"https://www.snf.ch/en/noYHnzN47LR5qt93/news/snsf-starting-grants-2026\">SNSF Starting Grant 2026</a> will open on 1 February 2026, with a deadline for submission<strong> on 5 May 2026. </strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis call will enable researchers to lead an independent project and a team in Switzerland.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Funding: </strong>Max.<strong> CHF 1M </strong>+ applicant's salary, for max.<strong> 5 years</strong>.\r\n</p><ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Status:</strong> Applicants who do not already hold a Professorship at the submission will obtain, in case of award, a non-tenured Assistant Professor title lasting for the duration of the project.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Eligibility:</strong>\r\n\t<ul>\r\n\t\t<li><strong>EPFL conditions: in the 2026 call, EPFL will only support internal applicants.</strong></li>\r\n\t\t<li><strong>SNSF conditions:</strong>\r\n\t\t<ul>\r\n\t\t\t<li>max. 8 years after PhD + min. 2 years of research post PhD <strong>on 1 February 2026</strong>.</li>\r\n\t\t\t<li>Swiss link (min. 2 years of research in CH on 5 May 2026 or CH nationality or CH degree)</li>\r\n\t\t\t<li>Resubmission and parallel application rules apply, Please check the <a href=\"https://www.snf.ch/media/en/QP8QTPcH0WBr9GzN/SNSF_StG_2026_Call_Document.pdf\">call document</a>.</li>\r\n\t\t\t<li><strong>IMPORTANT</strong>: Applicants with significant experience as independent researchers and team leaders on 5 may 2026 are <strong>NOT</strong> eligible <strong>UNLESS THEY HAVE <em>NOT</em> YET RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT THIRD PARTY FUNDING</strong>:\r\n\t\t\t<ul>\r\n\t\t\t\t<li>Recipients of e.g. an SNSF project grant, a Starting Grant, Consolidator Grant, or Advanced Grant from the ERC or the SNSF are NOT eligible</li>\r\n\t\t\t\t<li>Recipients of smaller scale fundings, e.g. Ambizione or Spark, REMAIN eligible</li>\r\n\t\t\t</ul>\r\n\t\t\t</li>\r\n\t\t</ul>\r\n\t\t</li>\r\n\t</ul>\r\n\t</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Interested? </strong><br>\r\n<strong>> See the ReO <a href=\"https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kpz6w4nbsmxsjoH5-l4HGJyheoi6Cd9y?usp=sharing\">Toolkit </a>to check the participation status of your School/ Institute.

Similarly, out-of-equilibrium dissipative colloidal systems subjected to an external energy injection often develop nontrivial collective dynamics and self-organize into large scale structures, which are far more complex than their equilibrium counterparts [1-17]. The main sources of such emergent behavior are the many-body dissipative interactions between colloids (e. g. steric, electrostatic, magnetic), the external energy injection, and the coupling of particles dynamics through the fluid flow around them. Collective dynamics and self-organization in out-of-equilibrium colloidal systems (often termed as <em>active colloids</em>) is a rapidly growing area of research which led to the discovery of novel dynamic architectures and functionalities that are not generally available at equilibrium.<br>\r\n Colloidal systems have been the subject of intense research for a long time due to their ubiquitous technological applications. Colloidal particles display Brownian motion, size in the visible wavelength and dynamics in experimentally accessible timeframes (milliseconds to seconds) making them an attractive platform for the experiments and the computational modeling. The pair interactions between particles can be easily adjusted in strength and range by applying relatively small external fields. When driven by external forces or an internal energy source, colloids can mimic motile biological entities and can serve as a testbed for exploring the rich and complex physics of out-of-equilibrium systems. These dissipative colloidal structures utilize energy to generate and maintain structural complexity. Experiments and numerical simulations along this line of research have often revealed nontrivial collective dynamics and emergent large-scale structures [1-17]. With the proposed workshop we would like to provide a platform for discussing several new and important trends in this field of active colloidal materials, that is, chirality, non-reciprocity, and memory.<br>\r\nA recent hot trend in the field of active colloids explores the emergence of coherent motion and self-organization in systems with chirality [5-11]. Chirality is an intrinsic fundamental property of many natural and synthetic systems. Colloidal particles driven by external torques [12-18] constitute an ideal model system to investigate these phenomena since they avoid the inherent complexity of biological active matter. Spinning particles dispersed in a fluid represent a special class of artificial active systems that inject vorticity at the microscopic level [19-25]. Dense collections of interacting spinning particles represent a chiral fluid [26], which breaks parity and time-reversal symmetries, and displays a novel viscosity feature called the odd viscosity and elasticity [27, 28]. The odd viscosity has been identified in interacting chiral spinners [29], and it led to remarkable effects such as production of flow perpendicular to the pressure [27], topological waves [30], or the emergence of edge currents [29]. Magnetic rollers dynamically assemble into a vortex under harmonic confinement, that spontaneously selects a sense of rotation and is capable of chirality switching [31,32]. Multiple motile vortices unbound from any confinement have been revealed in ensembles of magnetic rollers powered by a uniaxial field [33]. Oscillating chiral flows were generated when a roller liquid was coupled to fixed obstacles [34]. There has been an increasing effort to investigate collective phenomena in systems composed of chiral active units [11, 35-40]. Synchronized self-assembled magnetic spinners at the liquid interface revealed structural transitions from liquid to nearly crystalline states and demonstrated reconfigurability coupled to a self-healing behavior [41]. Activity-induced synchronization leading to a mutual flocking, and chiral self- sorting has been observed in modeled ensembles of self-propelled circle swimmers [42]. Shape anisotropic particles powered by the Quincke phenomenon led to the realization of chiral rollers (similar to circle swimmers) with spontaneously selected handedness of their motion and activity-dependent curvature of trajectories [43].<br>\r\nAnother fast-developing direction in the field of non-equilibrium active and driven colloids is the realization of systems characterized by non-reciprocity of interactions or memory effects and how they can lead to emerging collective phenomena. Due to the intrinsic nonequilibrium nature of active systems, the couplings between particles often deviate from the standard form derivable from a Hamiltonian. One intriguing example is a time-delayed coupling involving a discrete delay time (or a distribution of such times). Such a situation arises, for example, through a delay in communication or sensing, and can be artificially created via a feedback loop [44]. Another topic attracting a lot of attention in the community is based on active systems with nonreciprocal couplings that can arise, for example, through chemotaxis or phoretic interactions between self-propelling colloids [45], or through predator-prey or vision-cone interactions [46,47] in macroscopic active systems. On the collective level, is now well established that non-reciprocity can induce new types of phase transitions [48] and patterns with broken time- and parity symmetry, including travelling patterns [49,50] and globally chiral motion without chirality of the individual constituents [51]. While many of these studies have been pursued only at a mean field-theoretical level, there is also an increasing interest in understanding corresponding particle-scale effects, that can only be accessed by numerical simulations [52] or corresponding experiments. For example, non-reciprocal interactions may generate new types of self-assembled systems able to learn and to produce transition between different shapes [53]. Establishing the precise connection between the different length and time scales is still an important challenge. Here, computer simulations are an indispensable tool.<br>\r\nMany standard models of active motion implicitly assume an inert (equilibrium) environment yielding instantaneous friction and noise. In contrast, several recent studies [54,19] explore the impact of retarded friction as it arises in viscoelastic environments made, e.g., of polymers, liquid crystals, or biological tissues [55-57]. An extreme case is time-delay [44]. From a theoretical and computational perspective, retarded friction or, more generally, non-Markovian dynamics, still provides a severe challenge. This concerns, e.g., the extraction (or modelling) of memory kernels, but also the actual solution of the coupled equations of motion, each being subject to history effects. As a consequence, only few studies on the emerging collective behavior of active particles with memory are currently available, including collective effects in systems of feedback-driven colloids [58] and pattern formation in a non-Newtonian active system [59]. Advancing numerical methods capable of treating memory effects will become more and more important in view of the recent experimental progress in this field. Experimentally, the memory effects in the system can be induced, e.g., by temporal activity modulations at intermediate timescales of the interactions in the colloidal ensemble [60]. Such modulations generate active particles with partial memory (at the particle level) of their motion from the previous activity cycles (either through partial depolarization or remnant hydrodynamic flows induced by the particle motion). Novel dynamic patterns (such as localized multiple vortices, flocks, pulsating lattices) has been revealed in ensembles of Quinke rollers [60,61]. When coupled to the fluid flows, active particle with memory can produce activity shockwaves [62]. Also, it has been recently demonstrated that active colloidal ensembles realized by Quinke rollers can effectively develop “ensemble memory”, where the information about the dynamic state of the system is distributed over the whole ensemble [63]. This information can be effectively exploited to command subsequent collective polar states of the active colloidal ensemble through activity cycling [63] and can pave the way toward direct applications in different technological fields related to microfluidics and microrobotics.<br>\r\nDeveloping fundamental understanding of the complex colloidal dynamics in systems driven out-of-equilibrium by external fields represents a significant theoretical and computational challenge as it involves multi-body interactions, the overlapping of length- and timescales, and the coupling of particle interactions with the fluid flow. Some of the features may be understood using phenomenological using continuum descriptions [21-23] Nevertheless, the microscopic mechanisms leading to the dynamic self-assembly and their relations to the emergent behavior in active colloidal fluids with chirality, non-reciprocal interactions, and memory often remain unclear. <em>Computer simulations are practically the only method to theoretically investigate such questions. </em>However, modeling of the nonequilibrium dynamics presents a formidable computational challenge due to the complex many- body interactions and collective dynamics at different time and lengths scales. One of the main challenges is to properly account for the particle-fluid coupling. On a coarse-grained level, the fluid flow around colloids is modeled by molecular dynamics methods like Lattice-Boltzmann [64] and Multi Particle Collision Dynamics [65,66]. An alternative approach is to describe the colloidal dynamics by molecular dynamics simulation, or an amplitude equation (Ginzburg-Landau type equation) coupled to the Navier-Stokes equations describing large-scale time- averaged hydrodynamic flows induced by the colloids [67,68].<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Reference</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n[1] B.
