Mind-Body Sleep Research Seminars - 
Held monthly in conjunction with Multidisciplinary Sleep Medicine Conferences
Contact:  Amy Jaworski for schedule information

This seminar is open to faculty, fellows, graduate students, or staff associated with the Pittsburgh
. Mind-Body Center, as well as the research and academic communities at large.  This forum provides
researchers in the behavioral medicine community in Pittsburgh with exposure to specific areas of
sleep research that are relevant to behavioral medicine, as well as a forum for interacting with
colleagues in sleep medicine.  Similarly, sleep medicine clinicians and researchers in the
Departments of Psychiatry, Medicine and Neurology are given the opportunity to learn about areas
of behavioral medicine research that might be relevant to their interests.  Presentations include
reviews of research findings and specific topic areas, discussion of methodological/statistical
techniques, and presentations of new studies related to mind-body sleep research.
