Institute for Mind and Biology
The Institute for Mind and Biology (IMB) at UChicago supports scientific research about the mind and its dynamic interactions with the biological systems of the body. The Institute has faculty in several fields within the psychological and biological disciplines, and there are students from many departments represented by the diverse research projects within the IMB. Outside of departmental structures, the Institute is well-represented within the three Neuroscience and the Evolutionary Biology graduate training programs on campus, and the members are involved in leadership roles for many national and international organizations.
