Essentials: How to Learn Skills Faster

Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials. Where we revisit past episodes. For the most potent and actionable science based tools. for mental health, physical health, and performance. I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.

This podcast is separate from my teaching and research roles at Stanford. It is, however, part of my desire and effort to bring zero cost to consumer information about science and science related tools to the general public. Today we're going to talk about and focus on skill learning. We are going to focus on how to learn skills more quickly, in particular motor skills. So if you're interested in how to perform better. Whether or not it's dance or yoga or even something that's just very repetitive like running or swimming.

This podcast episode is for you. We're going to go. And we are going to talk about very specific protocols that the science points to and has verified allow you to learn more quickly. to embed that learning so that you remember it and to be able to build up skills more quickly.
