I've been asked to respond to how learning about the brain helps me understand how my own brain works. I found the video to be very positive. It emphasized the possibilities and potential of our brains. Sometimes I feel like I'm under utilizing my brain, but this course is forcing me to be a student again and to be more thoughtful and reflective. Right now, I'm imagining thousands of neurons in my brain firing at once, and one thought leading to an unexpected, tangentially related new thought. Does that explain why I struggle to stay focused on one thing for very long? Perhaps I should just embrace that as a function of my brain.
I'm eager to get past the introduction and into a more substantive exploration of learning and neuroscience.
Reflection is key for learning! Looking forward to more of your posts.
