Understand your brain
on a whole new level
Everything we think,
Everything we feel,
Everything we do,
Comes from our brain.
A better understanding of our brain impacts every aspect of our life.
It impacts us personally, from ‘technical issues’ like focus and memory, over our habits and beliefs, to how strong we feel and our lust for life.
But it also impacts our relationships. Understanding our brain helps us in educating our children, caring for our parents, loving our partners and even working better with our colleagues and boss.
And yet, most of us have only a very limited understanding of how our brain works, let alone how to optimise it.
No, we’re not going to make you play brain games, or try to sell you brain supplements. This is not about ‘miracle’ solutions.
Our aim is to give you answers. Answers to why we do the things we do, the way we do them. Answers to how our brain functions and what we can do to optimise that process.
And that is exactly what we want to share with you.
This is brain science accessible to all.

But don't take our word for it, just see for yourself what some of our students have to say:
"Well driven approach. It's very easy to understand and get into it. Simple, straight to the point and not fully of "magical solutions". I've enjoyed it. Looking forward for more content about it from you Greg. Thanks again!"
Helio Costa
"That's TERRIFIC! Gregory, you've made a perfect job again!!! A thousand of thanks! ... The only thing is that I couldn't make notes, because my eyes were glued to the screen - so, I can go back, start again, doing the quiz - so, after the raised dopamine-level the job-part of mine is coming!"
Betty Zsoldos
"Gregory took something extremely complicated and made it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Highly recommended."

Four Steps to
Explore Your Brain
When you join our Brain Academy, you can choose to explore our content freely… or follow the path we have designed specially for you, so you can get the most out of your experience with us.
The Brain Academy consists of 4 different steps, each with a different focus.
Step 1
Understand
The first step, which is also the N°1 reason for people to join our Brain Academy, is to better understand our brain and its impact on our behaviour.
It comes down to understanding why we do the things we do, the way we do them.
Here we explore the different structures of our brain. We unmask some common brain myths and lay the foundations for things to come.
And in order to be able to absorb all this, we dive deep into how to focus as well as memory and learning techniques.
Step 2
Apply
Once we have laid the foundations, we can move to our second step, which is to apply our new found insights.
Our favourite test-subject ought to be ourselves. So we apply the insights we’ve gained so far to ourselves, with how to overcome procrastination and personal development.
But also we apply them in our communication to others. More specifically, we’re talking parenting and leadership.
Step 3
Adapt
In the third step, things are becoming really juicy. We will be building a more lasting foundation for change. We will have to move out of our comfort zone, and adapt. This is where we start looking at how we can re-wire our brain. Yes, you read that right. Re-wire your brain. the secret to do so, is to create what scientists call ‘enriched environments’.
This is the realm of neuroplasticity, our brain’s ability to change itself at any age. We show you how to set up the conditions for a higher brain output, by aligning your environment and your actions to your brain.
Step 4
Expand
In the fourth and last step, we dive deep on a micro-biology level. In order to expand your brain’s capacities we show you how to naturally stimulate the creation of new neurones and put them to good use.
This is the exciting field of neurogenesis, which is key to mental sharpness and lust for life. By applying the insights we share here, you will be able to profoundly transform your life and reach further than you ever thought possible.

Don’t worry, We’ve got you covered. Everything is explained in such a way that even complex information becomes accessible and easily digestible. We pride ourselves that we bring brain science to the masses.
You could. It would however be a full time job to acquire the most cutting edge information (as we do). There's also a lot of inaccurate information out there. All the information we share in the Brain Academy has been curated by our experts.
The Brain Academy is a two way street, so you can ask any questions you want. There is a comment section to all lectures, or you can send us an email. We normally answer within 24 hours, and usually much faster than that.
We would never want you to be unhappy! In the unlikely case you feel you don't get enough value out of your membership, we've made it extremely easy for you to cancel. You can send us a simple mail.

These are just some of the messages and reviews we receive from our students.
"I really like this guy. Within his area he is on a level above everyone else I listened to. Strongly recommended."
Thomas Meurling
"Can you eat just ONE potato chip? Can you take just ONE neuroscience course? Bet the answer is NO! :)"
Janis Musgrove
"Maybe if the NBA was a required course for humanity as a means of understanding human behaviour, we would all understand each other better, which, in turn could lead to world peace. All we need is a little understanding. Thank you! Awesome course. It has definitely changed my perspective how I view others."
Tracy Boyer
"Gregory, you did a masterful job in bringing forth practical advice on how we can use our brain more effectively. Understanding the underlying mechanisms is important and then introducing solutions. Thanks!"
Bob Ghost
"A great job taking something so complex and making it easy to understand without dumbing it down."
Jane Hudson
"Neuroscience carefully explained and applied to life. Finally! This course is very well structured and taught by a very knowledgeable instructor. I am a big fan of Gregory’s work and look forward to more!"
Katya Seberson
"I really didn’t know what to expect going into this course, but I am VERY satisfied with this course. I learned so much, and feel like I can actually actively use this information. Actions of others, and habitual actions of myself make more sense now after learning more about how the brain works. The lesson itself is very well laid out, and simplified. That was a big deal to me that this was simplified because I didn’t think I was going to be able to understand such a complex topic. I felt it was very well done, easy to understand and fun to learn! Highly suggested course! Great teacher, good sense of humour too!"
Lacey Jade Lanzo
"I enjoyed this course immensely. First off, it’s put together very well with excellent information and examples. Secondly, the instructor is entertaining, which in my opinion is a big plus and a great way for me to learn and retain ideas. Lastly, I learned a lot about myself, my drivers, my energy sources, and ways to make changes that will take time but stick with me. I highly recommend this course if you’re looking to get unstuck!"
Nikki Mendez
"Upon completing this course, you will feel like Neo seeing the code behind the Matrix. Understanding how the human brain is working in general will provide you with insight for so many areas of life: Work, School, Personal Life, Self-Esteem, more! I came to this class for the sheer curiosity. I received so very much more! Thanks to Gregory’s class: I am able to get along better with many more coworkers than previous because I can better recognise the “modes” they are stuck in : Mu self-esteem stays high when dealing with the coworkers I just never will get along with (too dominant or too marginalised), because I know*it’s not my brain that’s malfunctioning*: I have better negotiating skills than ever because now I know how, when, and WHY to ask questions to difficult personalities in an effort to come to a harmonious solution: I still have a lot to practice, but this course contains information I will carry with me for a lifetime."
A. Lynn
"Gregory does a fantastic job at explaining how the brain works and how to get an upper hand over all your thinking."
Christopher Browning
"Fantastic and fascinating - this is life changing stuff!! I especially enjoyed the section on habits which presented the concept of forming and breaking habits in a whole new light. Why have I never heard this before? I will come back to this again each time I need a reminder about how powerful my brain actually is :) I also appreciated the way the information was presented as well as the course content itself. The instructor was engaging, passionate, and knowledgeable. Top notch!"
Jessica Barst
"Very interesting lessons from a true expert."
Scott Duffy
"This instructor is amazing. The way he explains things makes it easy to understand. This information is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much."
Dena Giselle
"I learned a lot from this course and it made me realise why I am the way I am and why others are the way they are. The theories are sound and I like the idea that they are ever evolving. Thanks for providing this!"
Washington Alto
"I loved it! Love how Gregory makes it interesting, exciting, understandable and fun! It’s great to feel his enthusiasm! It’s contagious! It was well worth it as I have enrolled in this course with no expectations and got a great experience! Thank you."
Carla Oliveira
"Fascinating material. Perfectly delivered."
Pam Jenkinson
"I see myself returning to this course at least annually to preserve this knowledge!"
Emilia Górecka
"This is by far, one of the best courses I have taken part in. It is not only interesting but also life-changing. The idea of who we are and how our brain reshapes these features is simply mind-blowing. I never write a review but this course deserves it. I am kind of newbie in the subject and will definitely re-do it to record all this information. Thanks Gregory."
Pablo Lázaro
"Excellent content, very informative with lots of things I had no clue about. Fantastic, professional delivery in an entertaining format. Gregory Caremans is a true expert in the field and the course delivers a very fun and educational way to understand how to improve your brain. Definitely recommended!!!"
George Levy
"It feels like it’s all here. The instructor is also entertaining, not only facts facts. (Even though he’s very knowledgeable)"
Jonas Warstad
"What a fun dude. Loved learning from you, Gregory! I’ve really had a change of perspective here :D"
Lays Gomes Aguiar
