Mind / Brain / Behavior -- Interfaculty Initiative at Harvard University

Mind/Brain/Behavior 90r
Supervised Research  


MBB 90r is an individual research tutorial. You arrange the tutorial yourself, identifying a faculty member who will serve as your research supervisor for a project related to her/his research program. To identify labs or faculty, you may consult this website’s Research Opportunities section or contact Shawn Harriman in the Mind/Brain/Behavior office (room 404, 14 Story Street), faculty advisors in MBB tracks, and the MBB Board of Faculty Advisors.

Your work in this course will be determined by your research supervisor, and usually entails regular weekly hours in her/his laboratory or research program. At the end of the semester you will also need to submit a research report to your supervisor and to the Mind/Brain/Behavior Offices. Your grade will be based on your work in the lab and on your written report, which is due by Wednesday, December 9th.

To enroll in the course, you should submit an application by noon on Tuesday, September 8th. Your application will then be reviewed and you will be e-mailed instructions for obtaining a study card signature at the Mind/Brain/Behavior Offices (your research supervisor should not sign your Study Card).
