Founded in 1967, the International Neuropsychological Society (INS) is dedicated to advancing the science and practice of neuropsychology and related brain health professions through interdisciplinary collaboration, global outreach, and innovative research.
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into neuropsychological research and practice now seems imminent. Regardless of how this prospect is viewed, there is little question that neuropsychologists must be prepared to adapt to an AI-driven landscape across a variety of settings. To date, however, relatively few concrete changes in neuropsychological research and clinical practice can be attributed directly to AI adoption. This calm before the storm provides neuropsychologists with an opportunity to reflect on, and ultimately help shape, what roles AI tools play in the field.
This special issue of JINS invites researchers to submit papers on the topic of Artificial Intelligence in Neuropsychology. The issue will present cutting-edge empirical findings that demonstrate various applications of AI in the field with the goal of helping neuropsychologists better understand what AI is and whether it can be used effectively in neuropsychological research and clinical practice. Possible topics may include (but are not limited to) the use of AI in neuropsychological domains related to: testing and scoring; digital assessment and monitoring; multimodal data integration; diagnosis and report generation; digital phenotyping; neuroimaging; accessibility; supervision and training; and decision-making and ethics.
Co-Organizers:
Please indicate in your cover letter that your submission is in response to the call for papers for the special issue on Artificial Intelligence in Neuropsychology.
This special issue invites submissions examining how dual diagnoses or co-occurring symptoms affect neuropsychological functioning in pediatric populations. The aim is to advance understanding of whether comorbid conditions—such as depression, anxiety, or sleep disturbances—contribute to additional neuropsychological impairments beyond those associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, acquired (traumatic) brain injuries, or other medical conditions affecting brain function.
We particularly welcome studies investigating the combined impact of multiple conditions (e.g., co-occurring neurodevelopmental and acquired brain disorders) and their effects on cognitive, emotional, and behavioral outcomes.
Despite the high prevalence of dual diagnoses, research often focuses on single conditions. This special issue seeks cutting-edge empirical studies that move beyond this approach to better reflect the complexity encountered in clinical assessment and treatment. Submissions using neuropsychological testing alongside neuroscience methods (e.g., fMRI, EEG, heart rate variability) are welcome.

Dear INS Members and Colleagues,
We are writing to announce an opening for the Chair of the INS Science Committee.
Dr. Lena Dobson’s distinguished tenure as Chair concludes this February. We extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Dobson for her exceptional contributions and leadership during her term.
To ensure a seamless transition, we are actively soliciting nominations. We expect some excellent candidacies from current committee members—guaranteeing continuity—but we are also committed to an open and public selection process for leadership roles whenever possible. Our aim is to invite participation from the wider membership, leveraging varied experiences from other institutions to enrich our standards and strategic goals. This openness is vital for ensuring rigorous self-evaluation and welcoming innovative perspectives.
If you know someone who would be an ideal candidate, please ask her/him to submit their nomination to ins@the-ins.org (Biosketcth, and a letter of interest describing experience and vision of the Project to be developed). Being an INS member and payment of dues for 2026 is required. Deadline is December 30th.
Many thanks in advance!
Natalia Ojeda
The INS special project fund recipient is “Assessing Chronic Stress in HIV-Exposed Children Using Hair Cortisol Concentration: A Feasibility Sub-Study of the Healthy Child Study,” headed by Dr. Kaylee van Whye, the Neurocognitive Study Lead for the Healthy Child Study led out of Stellenbosch University in South Africa. The project integrates a non-invasive biomarker of stress (hair cortisol) with neuropsychological and environmental assessments to advance understanding of developmental outcomes in HIV-exposed uninfected children.
Congratulations to Dr. van Whye and her team. We look forward to seeing the results of your research!

Are you looking for a way to connect with other INS members who share an interest in a specialized area of neuropsychology? Do you look forward to discussing professional issues, recent research, or the future of our field with others?
The INS special interest groups (SIGs) provide a forum for INS members with common interests to come together during INS meetings, for the purpose of sharing recent research, discussing professional issues, and interacting informally.
