The most helpful course I ever found. It fixed my procrastination problem and gave me so much help thanks to the learning techniques. It takes it further by including stuff I've never considered like diffuse mode. Highly recomend.

The material is presented in a pretty interesting manner. I very much so like the format with the shorter videos instead of huge, 45 minute videos that can't be finished in one sitting. Much thanks to Dr. Oakley and Dr. Sejnowski.
