If the following kinds of questions engage your imagination, then CBD is the program for you!  

• How are biology, psychology, and culture implicated in the development of emotional life?
• How does life experience influence the expression of genes?
• How does the brain make it natural to acquire, use, and create culture?
• What can neuroscience tell us about the nature of consciousness?

Check out the descriptions of "Culture, Brain, and Development Concentrations" to think about how you might design a CBD Concentration.

If you are Div II or Div III and are planning a CBD-related project or field research this year, visit the CBD Concentration Guidelines and then CBD Funding Opportunities for Students to think about possibilities for CBD funding to support your project or research.

Announcements will be posted on this page throughout the year alerting you to program activities -- application deadlines for project funding; lectures and seminars; the CBD student group; the Distinguished Lecture Series; and research lab activities.
