Discover how your brain stores and uses different types of memory, like remembering events, facts, and everyday skills. Learn why our memories can be surprisingly unreliable, how false memories happen, and what this means for learning, studying, and making decisions.
Examine how emotions influence moral reasoning and social behaviour. Use neuroscience to understand empathy, fairness, and the role of brain systems in moral dilemmas and real-world decisions.
Study how we monitor our own thinking, detect errors, and adjust strategies. Build metacognitive awareness using neuroscience-backed tools to strengthen your critical thinking, learning, and decision-making in everyday life.
Discover how the brain balances intuition and analysis when making decisions. Study dual-process theories, emotional influences, and cognitive shortcuts, and learn how biases like framing, anchoring, and confirmation shape our judgments.
Learn how the brain processes feedback, predicts rewards, and adapts to new situations. Analyse the neural mechanisms behind reinforcement learning, habit formation, and insight, and use this knowledge to sharpen your own problem-solving skills.
