Welcome

The Interpersonal Neurobiology Research Group (INRG) is a research team at Rosemead School of Psychology at Biola University. It was started by Dr. Ward Davis, in the Fall of 2011. INRG is comprised of Rosemead doctoral-psychology students, and its Co-Directors are Drs. Ward Davis and Keith Edwards.

Our mission is to advance the science, practice, and application of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) to promote health and wellbeing. In particular, we focus on the intersections between IPNB and the psychology of religion and spirituality, with an emphasis on Christian spirituality.

"Our present state of scientific knowledge suggests that we can solidly affirm that kindness and compassion are to the brain what the breath is to life"

- Daniel J. Siegel (2010, p. 85)
