Building Better Business through Brain Science
Connecting Brain Science and Business to Build a Better Society
Our Community
We are a community of faculty, undergraduates, graduate and professional students, and staff interested in connecting brain science and business.
Sponsored by the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative and Analytics at Wharton, and in partnership with Penn MindCORE, the Applied Neuroscience and Business Analytics Fellowship funds up to 4 undergraduate students for a 10-week internship working with Wharton Neuroscience affiliated faculty. This program specifically seeks to fund underrepresented undergraduate students from non-Penn colleges, and students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities are particularly encouraged to apply. Application deadline is 2/22/22.
The Leader’s Brain: Enhance Your Leadership, Build Stronger Teams, Make Better Decisions, and Inspire Greater Innovation with Neuroscience
A pioneering neuroscientist, Michael Platt, reveals how brain science can transform how we think about leadership, team-building, decision-making, innovation, marketing, and more.
Ilerioluwa Akinnola (far left) was one of two recipients of the inaugural Applied Neuroscience and Business Analytics Summer Undergraduate Internships, aimed at increasing outreach to under-represented undergraduate students outside of Penn. The aims of the summer internship, how it fits into Wharton’s commitment to Analytics and Neuroscience, and Ileri’s experiences were recently highlighted in an article for Analytics at Wharton.
