Building resilient behaviours to enhance human function

We are known for our unique approach to building resilient, healthy behaviours. The Behaviour-Brain-Body Research Centre (BBB), based at the University of South Australia, investigates people through the combined lens of behaviour, brain and body.

Our team of over 30 experts works collaboratively across behavioural change, fatigue and stress management, decision-making and recovery, to predict, prevent, detect and intervene, all with the aim of optimising human function.

At BBB we blend pure research with real world contexts to help our community, government and industry partners tackle their thorniest questions and create solutions that support behavioural resilience and promote healthy functioning.

The enterprising way we engage with our partners pivots on our ability to bring together people with different expertise to solve these big challenges.

Our research facilities


We help our clients and partners tackle the difficult questions. At BBB, we investigate humans through the combined lens of behaviour, brain and body, rather than through the lens of a single approach.

Discover our research

Every day we rely on others to perform at their best in extreme circumstances. Whether it be surgical teams, firefighters, army and navy personnel, or other shift workers, we need them to function at peak performance, often without sleep and in stressful situations.

At the Behaviour-Brain-Body Research Centre (BBB) our research collaboratively branches across behavioural change, fatigue, and stress management, decision-making and recovery, to predict, prevent, detect, and intervene, all with the aim of optimising human function.
