Understand the brain, a few minutes at a time

Brief videos from a neuroscience professor, each followed by questions you answer from memory. Mixed practice then brings ideas back across topics, so they stay with you.

Built on how learning works

  1. Watch a brief videoOne idea at a time, a few minutes each, so nothing gets lost in a long lecture.
  2. Recall it from memoryAnswering questions without looking back strengthens memory far more than rewatching. You get an explanation either way.
  3. Put it in your own wordsThen compare with the key ideas. Explaining something yourself shows you what you really understood.
  4. Mix it upPractice sessions shuffle questions across topics and bring back the ones you missed. It feels harder, which is the point.
