The Organization for the Mind and Brain Sciences was founded in the fall of 2008
with the goal of uniting undergraduate students who are interested in the things
that make us tick. We are interested in everything from our brains to our
neurons and from our decisions to our personalities. Because of the recent
emergence of this field, it is often hard for undergraduates to engage with the
brilliant professors who are shaping the field of neuroscience. We see that as
an opportunity: together with our advisors Paul Lipton and William Eldred, we
host student discussions and presentations by professors from around Boston. Not
only do these gatherings teach us about the work being done in neuroscience
today, they give us the unique opportunity to get to know some remarkable
individuals. The group is equally as dedicated to the publication of The Nerve,
BU's undergraduate neuroscience journal of essays, articles, and review papers
on the mind and brain. We welcome all fields related to the mind and brain,
including psychology, biology, anthropology, philosophy, computer science, etc.
