Social Brain Institute

SBI draws on the cognitive and social sciences to advance research-based tools and methods, connect environmental and social systems, and tackle emerging organizational threats. Using our understanding of the social, cultural and educational neuroscience, we design strategies in order to help private, public & third sector organizations enhance learning, organizational culture, social and environmental justice. We organize our work around four practice areas: LEARN We put in practice brain based methods to address gaps in education systems and improve the quality, efficiency and relevance of education by rethinking the way we learn and promoting active social and cooperative learning centred on the learner, from early childhood to adulthood. THINK Cognitive psychologists have studied the essence of thinking and decision-making. Our approach aims at associating critical thinking skills, media and technological literacy to enable young and adult people to recognize the biases that influence their ideas, opinions and behaviour. ORGANIZE We provide mental organization tools and opportunities for leaders as well as for those involved in recruiting, training, and developing their teams to implement emerging neuroscience research in order to create a functioning and fair work environment. CHANGE We support policymakers, practitioners and intervention designers working on social and environmental justice by developing their understanding of the drivers of human behaviour and the different tools that can be used to create collective change.
