Course Description
This course is N°1 in its category, here on Udemy. It used to be unique. It was the first of its kind. It has been copied many times since, on this platform and elsewhere.
But this is the real deal. My expertise is in Brain Science. This is what I do for a living: sharing my passion for the brain with you. And with this course, you're in for a treat...
This course was selected as ‘one of the coolest online courses’ by 'mentalfloss' (a website with 15 million visitors in the USA)
What it will do, is let you experience neuroplasticity for yourself, from a whole set of exercises, over changing habits and even altering memories.
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life.
Not that long ago, scientists believed the brain could only create new connections during childhood and once we reached adulthood, we would basically be stuck with whatever got wired up there. You know, the good old ‘you can’t learn an old dog new tricks’.
Well, turns out you can. And it’s all about Neuroplasticity
Our brain continues to create new neurons throughout our life and the ability to reorganize our wiring is called neuroplasticity. And this has tremendous consequences. It means that, whoever we are, whatever we’ve become, it is never too late to change. We can learn new skills, we can change old habits and create new ones. We can learn, we can grow, we can improve our lives.
Still, even though we all have this capacity, most of us stay stuck in a seamless dead-end street. Habits are hard to break. Change requires too much effort. It’s too painful. And we end up settling for not even second best, but rather some average ranking down there. Our life as it could be remains a distant dream, because we gave up.
So with this course, I want to change that. I want to harness the power of neuroplasticity and give people the opportunity to take life back into their own hands. This course has a hands on approach. It's about how you can take action to use this Neuroplasticity to your advantage. How to concretely take action in your own life. More than anything else, this course is about empowerment. About how to reconnect with your dream life and start making that change.
What you'll find in the course:
This little gem will bring you cutting edge brain research, from enriched environments to implanting memories, over the anatomy of habits. It's packed with concrete tools, so you can apply this immediately in your own life:
Over 30 exercises to stimulate brain activity,
A detailed blueprint to form new habits or change existing ones
A full chapter on how to overcome procrastination
A step by step approach to neutralize painful memories
(Disclaimer: This course will not make you a superhuman, nor will it be helpful in treating brain injuries. I just wanted to make that clear)

I completed Gregory course today and was truly a valuable experience✨ I gained a deeper understanding of how powerful the brain's ability to adapt and create change really is. The course was very well structured,easy to follow and full of insights that make you see your own mind in a different way. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in neuroscience and personal development!❤️
By Hannah Baltz-Smith on 8/7/2026
The topic of neuroplasticity is very interesting to me. I appreciate how Gregory explained the complicated neuroscience in a simple, easy to understand way. I also found value in the specific exercises and actionable suggestions to increase cognitive flexibility. The roadmap of how to stop/start a habit was interesting too. The section about procrastination was my main motivation for checking out this course. I found it insightful and learned more about my conscious and unconscious self. I look forward to exploring my brain further!

It starts off quite boring when it’s just the presentation slides with the monotone voice-over. However, the videos where he appears on camera speaking directly are genuinely engaging. He has a very natural way of explaining things, and the real-life examples he includes in his presentations make the content both interesting and genuinely entertaining. I really enjoyed those sections, they completely changed the learning experience.

Really engaging course. Loved the humour that went with the course. Some sections are really interesting and opens up thinking in a different way or even something that you would not have thought of at all.
By Elizabeth Kirwin on 5/18/2026
I knew nothing about Neuroplasticity until this course. Now I have a lot of exercises to do to make sure I'm stretching my brain everyday. This course was really great and I love the instructor's subtle sense of humor (which I get). He's so passionate and knowledgeable. Now I want to read a book on neuroplasticity.

Very good match and optimistic about changing brain chemistry
By Miznan Behri on 4/6/2026
Very interesting course tackling multiple areas of brain neuroplasticity: stating facts, debunking myths, tips & tricks and exercises to make your brain more responsive to learning better and have better experiences (brain injury recovery is not part of this course's scope).
By Nayla Helou on 3/24/2026
The content and delivery are engaging. The instructor is clear, knowledgeable and passionate. I was engaged from the beginning because of the exercises. Learning about the underlying causes and types of procrastination convinced me of the solutions and the possibility to overcome it.

Though the knowledge here are something that has been shared by many on social media, i like that the explanation are very well done and easier to understand. The part that i like the most is at the end where the instructor shared deeply about enrichment environment and its impact.
By Victoria Clemmons on 3/17/2026
This was a really fascinating course. It featured a lot of information that can be put to use in my life. I particularly found the tools for procrastination very interesting and will be using them to improve myself. I also really enjoyed learning about the brain science and how it affects the different types of procrastinators. Truly very fascinating and I would recommend to anyone!
