Have we entered the next stage of human evolution now that we know enough about the brain to change its function? What does the future hold for those who want to enhance cognitive functions or prevent the onset of brain disorders? What can you do today to change habits, leveraging knowledge of neuroplasticity? This course engages students in learning about the current state of neuroscience knowledge regarding: cognitive training, habit formation and change, “happiness” and positive psychology interventions, self-monitoring and the quantitative self, time management, executive function management, mindfulness, and creativity. The course includes practical application of knowledge acquired via class and readings.
