    Here is a little secret: I wasn't interested in neuroscience from the beginning.

    Instead, I started as a psychologist. 

    But here is the thing: if you are interested in understanding the human mind then sooner or later this leads you to the brain.

    Once I realized how much neuroscience can teach us about ourselves, I was hooked and found myself more and more in this discipline.

    I realized that neuroscience is not as complicated as it seems and extremely fascinating.

    So in this course, I want to share some of the most mind-blowing neuroscience lessons – including lessons that you cannot find in any other course.

    So get started now and get to know your brain.

    Lean back and let the lectures take you on a journey through your brain.

    And you can ask me any question you have about the brain.
