We are in a tremendously exciting time in Biological Psychiatry. The new tools available to study the brain and behavior are unparalleled, and yet these remarkable developments- from optogenetic approaches in neural circuits to complex genomics to digital phenotyping - bring great challenges. How do we address the enormous amount of data, the complexity and need for integrated approaches, and the need for paradigm shifts in our thinking and methodology? Fortunately, from other areas of biology, science, and social technology, new approaches to complex analysis may bring remarkable insights to our field.
