In the past few decades, areas of science such as psychology, psychobiology and neuroscience have created an enormous amount of new data concerning effective behavioral methods for living longer, healthier lives. This free seminar will teach scientifically supported methods for creating a healthy brain and body, from infancy through late adulthood. Techniques of positive behavioral interventions and their beneficial effects on the brain and body will be illustrated and can be useful for parenting, teaching, business and in all other walks of life.
Each year, Southampton College also sponsors an exciting Brain Bee competition about Psychobiology for high school students. Several students attending this Psychobiology workshop were awarded scholarships for winning the 2001 Brain Bee last March. A brief explanation on how to enter and win the 2002 Southampton College Brain Bee Scholarship Competition will be described at the seminar.
