Brain Learning Institute

The field of education is a largely untapped resources begging to be milked year after year for profit. Currently only textbooks are able to run rampant in the sector with massive profit margins that can be kept high by releasing new editions or locking the actual use of book (e.g., submitting problem sets) behind DRMs and paywalls. While education is slow to change and adapt on a large scale, pseudo-neuroscience/education evangelists are trying to find ways into education through gimmicky technologies and promises. At the Brain Learning Institute we work to inoculate educators and administrators from neuroscience snake oil salesmen by debunking neuro-ed myths. No more 10% myth, no more left/right brain learners and no more learning style differences. By making an investment early, you can avoid the pain of buying into false neuroeducational practices and products.
