Home Welcome to the virtual instantiation of the Biobehavioral Alcohol Research Laboratory (BARL) in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Our laboratory's original research focus has evolved over time and now encompasses a broad range of issues associated with substance use, abuse, and dependence. Use the navigation buttons to learn more about BARL; you can download PDF versions of recent research publications, read about research-related opportunities, follow links to other web resources, or contact us for additional information about our research program. If you have a spare moment, you can listen to Dr. Finn discuss alcohol dependence and decision-making on IUPUI's weekly radio program 'Sound Medicine.' Enjoy. P.S. If you'd like more information about participating in a research study visit our companion Substance-Use Behavioral Studies website. Thank you.
