Explore the Biology of Learning

Imagine participating in a program that could change the face of education while advancing your career. Mind, Brain and Education (MBE)—an emerging field exploring the biology and mental activity of learning—does just that by helping educators understand the internal factors involved in the learning process. Mind, Brain, and Education explores how advances in neuroscience, genetics, and cognitive science can influence educational practices and leadership.

The Southwest Center for Mind, Brain and Education provides a forum for educators, policymakers, and researchers in the cognitive and developmental sciences to discuss, critique, and examine educational research and theories. Practical experience plays a role in defining promising research directions.
