The Brain: A User Guide for Non-Scientists




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Have you ever wondered why you have a brain? If you become a member of this study group, you will learn the answer in only four weeks. You will discover where brains came from, how they’re structured and why it matters, and how yours works in tandem with other brains to create everything you experience. Along the way, you will also learn to dismiss popular myths such as the idea of a “lizard brain” and the alleged battle between thoughts and emotions—or between nature and nurture—to determine your behavior. Guiding us along the way will be renowned neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, who will demystify that big gray blob between your ears with her book Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain (Mariner Books, 2020). We are looking forward to mind-expanding lessons from the frontlines of neuroscience research. Join us!
