**Please look at the design inspirations and their accompanying notes, which we have included. We are looking for something beyond just a depiction of the brain and text.**

We are a psychology and neuroscience research laboratory based at the University of Texas at Dallas.

This will be a logo for a scientific research study we are conducting (The Midlife Brain and Environment Study; 'MBES').

The goal of the study is to understand how aspects of an individual's environment, health and lifestyle (sleep, exercise, socialization, mental stimulation, diet, etc) impact brain and cognition in middle-age adulthood. If you could include multiple elements of the research into the logo that would be ideal.

The target audience are prospective study participants (as the logo will be used in participant recruitment material) and the scientific community (as the logo will be used in scientific talks and presentations).
