Learner Reviews & Feedback for The Brain and Space by Duke University
About the Course
in turn shapes our cognitive abilities. Knowing where things are is effortless. But “under the hood,” your brain must figure out even the
simplest of details about the world around you and your position in it. Recognizing your mother, finding your phone, going to the grocery store,
playing the banjo – these require careful sleuthing and coordination across different sensory and motor domains. This course traces the brain’s
detective work to create this sense of space and argues that the brain’s spatial focus permeates our cognitive abilities, affect...

I like the details that this course provides about the functionality of the brain. Dr Groh definitely took her time to prepare this course, and she likes to go in depth detail about everything.

One of the best Neuroscience courses took in my life. The professor is very good at teaching and amazing personality and her research team is very great. Hope one day she would win Nobel Prize

One of the best courses which introduces Neuroscience and shows the integration in the whole brain and how cognitive and sensory functions connected. I enjoyed the lectures a lot and the quizes were very good and gives insight on the understanding process of the given lectures. Only I missed written lecture notes as I have gone through different Courses and they introduced a better way in providing notes on each week at lesast.
Dr. Jennifer M. Groh made a very impressive work there and it was magnifcent to
enjoy this journey as I was fascinated by Nobel 2014 in Physiology and medicine and recently the course helped me to understand recent advances about how a man could restore his vision and the pathway of the process.

It is an informative course for every adult. It adds up to clarity in one's ability in regards to basic perception.
Auditory issues discussed appear to be limited to proximities from the top and horizontal, but in reality, in my personnel experience, the sound terminating from the bottom creates a doubt in the mind.
The wind factor is another issue which creates confusion with regards to location and its ability to influence or alter the sound wave.
For the rest, it is a real and highly valuable experience gained and all credit goes to Professor Jennifer M.Groh.

Good course. Somehow the level was more elementary than I had expected from the description. Certainly a good introduction to the topic for a beginer like me. It is important to have the book for review or for further reading as the videos are very condensed and the slides overall not very good. I found the weekly assignments very useful.

Coming from a background of AI ( Deep Learning etc...), I wanted to look at some of the inspirations for artificial neural networks.
An enlightening course ( remembering the different parts of the brain is still a challenge for me), which leaves me wanting to learning more. The supporting book for the course is also a good read.

This is an excellent course for those who want to get a better understanding about the brain and how it processes everyday stimulus. The professor is without doubt very knowledgable and explains everything in a very professional and yet simple way.

It was a fun course. I really learnt a lot, through her lectures, especially the different experiments. Really appreciate Coursera for providing with financial aid for me to take the class :)

This course is well worth it. I would have given it 5 stars if it contained even more in-depth coverage of how our brain works spatially; perhaps some content involving computation.
