About the Course

What are people most afraid of? What do our dreams mean? Are we natural-born racists? What makes us happy? What are the causes and cures of mental illness? This course tries to answer these questions and many others, providing a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought and behavior. It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, persuasion, emotions, and social behavior. We will look at how these aspects of the mind develop in children, how they differ across people, how they are wired-up in the brain, and how they break down due to illness and injury....

I loved the professor and the lessons. The only set back was the readings; they were very long but also incredibly useful.

A most captivating lecture series. I would do it again. There is a lot to digest but the nobaproject links help with that.

Great course. Although please be aware that the "10 minute" read at the end of each section takes a lot longer than that.
