Do you believe you can change? How much do you really believe it? And what if someone asked you how to do it?

As it turns out, science has a lot to say about it, and few people can say it with more authority than Dr. Michael Merzenich.

Dr. Merzenich's work as a neuroscientist over the past 50 years changed the way we view the brain. His efforts disproved mainstream science's belief that the brain became hardwired at a young age. Armed with this knowledge, he sought to practically apply it to help people.  Through several enterprises, his tools have benefited countless people around the globe, helping them regain their hearing, recover from brain trauma, and reverse the effects of mental illness and dementia.
