How to Learn Faster by Using Failures, Movement & Balance

In this episode, I discuss how we can use specific types of
behavior to change our brain, both for sake of learning the
movements themselves and for allowing us to learn
non-movement-based information as well. I describe the key role
that errors play in triggering our brains to change and how the
vestibular (balance) system can activate and amplify
neuroplasticity. As always, I cover science and science-based
practical tools. Thank you in advance for your questions and for
your interest in science! For the full show notes, visit
