Emory Center for Mind, Brain, and Culture

The Center for Mind, Brain, and Culture (CMBC) of Emory College was founded in 2007, and the first Director and Associate Director were appointed in the spring of 2008. The CMBC moved into its current facility in the Psychology and Interdisciplinary Sciences Building in 2009.

The CMBC’s activities and programming have been funded primarily by a grant from the Dean of Emory College. The Center has also received support from the Emory University Subvention Fund, the Computational and Life Sciences Initiative, the Neuroscience Initiative, the Emory Cognition Project, the Departments of Psychology and Anthropology, the Laney Graduate School at Emory University, the Hightower Fund, and the American Academy of Religion.
