    This course is very much helpful and enjoyable for me as the lecture was very clear and sound able to understand. As I've completed this course with full attention so I've realized many important things of our brain and the brain activities in our everyday functions. In finally the course was very interesting as well as enjoyable to me. Thank you very much for your very nice lecture and presentation.
