We are shaped by our experiences, whether it is through our environment, training or an injury. These experiences can be potent enough to change the way our brain is organized and how it functions. This course will examine key topics about the brain’s neuroplasticity in the context of skill performance. We will answer questions such as does it really take 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to become an expert?, how does your brain do it (from synapses to behaviour)?, and are there ways that we can push the brain’s neuroplasticity to its limits?, if that exists – can you train to become the next elite athlete or jazz great.
