CULTURE, MIND, AND BRAIN PROGRAM, MCGILL UNIVERSITY

The Culture, Mind, and Brain Program brings together McGill faculty, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and international researchers working at the intersection of brain, cognitive, and social sciences to explore the complex biological, psychological, and social processes that underpin brain function, cognitive development, mental health, treatment, recovery, and prevention. The program includes researchers engaged in social and cultural neuroscience, critical neuroscience, and the philosophy of psychiatry.

The FPR-McGill Culture, Mind, and Brain program is hosted at McGill University by the Division of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry and supported by the McGill Healthy Brains for Health Lives initiative. The program was established with generous support from the Foundation for Psychocultural Research.
