Dual-Processing Brain Theory Primer

Unlock the science behind one of the brain's most fascinating phenomena. This weekly live course breaks down dual-processing theory — the leading neuroscientific framework explaining déjà vu — through structured lessons, real-time critique, and interactive feedback sessions.

What you'll master

• The neuroscience of memory encoding, retrieval, and recognition — and how dual-processing pathways create the déjà vu experience
• Familiarity-based vs. recollection-based memory systems and their role in false recognition
• Key research from Bhatt, Brown, Cleary, and other pioneers in déjà vu science
• Temporal lobe dynamics, parahippocampal signaling, and the Gestalt familiarity hypothesis
• How to critically evaluate déjà vu studies, design experiments, and present findings

How it works

Each week features a live session combining lecture, case study breakdowns, and open critique rounds where you present your understanding and get direct instructor feedback. You'll also get access to the community chat for ongoing discussion between sessions.

Built for psychology students, neuroscience enthusiasts, researchers, and anyone who's ever wondered: *why does this feel familiar?*
