About my degree
A degree in neuroscience helps in more ways than you think! From understanding visual perception, to critically assessing the validity of research in accessibility design, to understanding people well enough to intuit good visual flow, to grasping the principles of learning and reward schedules to maximize long-term retention, I see that my studies were rich and all-encompassing, ever-useful. Neuroscience, specifically systems neuroscience, has given me a predicitive framework that seems to simply succeed at explaining human systems, which is what UX is.
