Title: International Brain Bee (IBB)
written on Friday 10 August 2012 @ 06:28 ✈{ 0 comments }

The International Brain Bee (IBB) is a neuroscience competition for teenage students.Its purpose is to motivate young men and women to learn about the human brain,and to inspire them to enter careers in the basic and clinical brain sciences.The world needs future clinicians and researches to treat and find cures for more than 1000 neurological and psychological disorders.

Dr.Nobert Myslinski founded the IBB at the University of Maryland in 1998 with 12 local chapters in North America.It has now grown to more than 150 chapters in more than 30 countries and 6 continents.Students advance through three tiers of competition from local to national and eventually to the International Championship.Approximately thirty thousand students compete annually.More than a hundred newspapers,radio and television stations cover the IBB and student competitors,and about 50 websites are devoted to IBB chapters.Winners have been recognized by Presidents and Ambassadors and other public officials.Many former competitors are now working in neuroscience,neurology,psychology and related fields.

Students prepare for the competition by studying books that are freely downloadable from the internet in 16 different languages.Topics include brain functions such as sensations,intelligence,emotions,movement and consciousness and brain dysfunctions such as Alzheimer’s,autism and addictions as well as research techniques and medical technology.The competition format is basically oral question and answer,but at higher tiers may also involve neuroanatomy laboratory tests with human brains,neurohistology tests with microscopes,patients diagnosis with actors and MRI brain imaging analysis.

The IBB is a non-profit grassroots effort funded mainly by private contributions,but also helped by dozens of partners including The Society for Neuroscience,The International Brain Research Organization and many colleges,universities,foundations,museums,hospitals,libraries,institutes,societies and commercial companies and bussiness.Organizations and the Canadian Association for Neuroscience,host the IBB Championship at their annual conventions.

The IBB continues to expand and capture the imagination of young men and women around the world.We challenge educators and scientists to start a brain bee in their city.We challenge students to compete!It’s fun,easy and rewarding.
