I found this quite interesting. I already knew about some of the myths, but there were a few I learned were not true.

This is a pretty good overview of neuroscience, specifically through taking common misperceptions about the brain, showing how they're not true or not fully true, and explaining the systems behind them. It never gets very advanced, but is a good introduction and overview. Each chapter is standalone and could be listened to in any order.

Good subject matter with each myth being addressed with stories and a reasoning for why the myth exists. Then counterpoints are examined based on research.

I enjoyed the content and the lecturer but could have done with less examples from her own life. Her examples were interesting but kind of defeated her point that one-off stories make for good myths but aren't good science.

This is a great lecture series that tackles many things we think we know about our brains... and in many cases, are wrong about. There's a good blend of story and science here. Highly recommended!
