A course about human behavior and the neuroscience behind it.
Why do you snap at a coworker over something small, then spend the rest of the day wondering why? Why do you reach for your phone before you’ve even decided to check it? This course pulls back the curtain on the brain systems running underneath everyday behavior.
Each lesson opens with a real, relatable scenario, then breaks down the neuroscience behind it in plain language. Technical terms get explained the moment they show up, not assumed. Where the evidence is strong, you’ll know it. Where it’s mixed or still debated, you’ll know that too. No pop-psychology myths dressed up as settled science.
What you’ll cover:
- The brain’s toolkit: neurons, neurotransmitters, and the fast-vs-slow systems behind most behavior
- Habits and self-control
- Motivation and reward
- Stress, anxiety, and the brain’s threat response
- Attention, focus, and distraction
- Memory and learning
- Emotion regulation and mood
- Decision-making and cognitive bias
- Social behavior and relationships
- Brain injury and disorders
- Neuroplasticity: why any of this can change
Every lesson ends with a short summary and a quick quiz, so you can check what actually stuck. Along the way, you’ll pick up evidence-based strategies you can put to use right away, not just facts to file away.
No background in neuroscience or psychology required. Just curiosity about why people (including you) do what they do.
