to be much more efficient by utilizing something called space learning theory.

Huberman Lab

And so you probably know about the space learning theories.

Huberman Lab

The idea for the viewers is if I'm cramming for a test, what I do is I write out 60 note cards and I read each one for a minute until I get to the first note card and again, and that's about an hour later, right?

Huberman Lab

That's space learning theory.

Huberman Lab

It's this idea that you need to see it about every hour to an hour and a half and that optimizes learning.

Huberman Lab

What we found was that the old way of doing TMS, this idea of just doing it once a day, every day, five days a week for six weeks, didn't utilize the space learning theory.

It's like studying for a month or two, just a little bit once a day.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Psychedelics & Neurostimulation for Brain Rewiring | Dr. Nolan Williams

You remember some of that stuff, but it's not as potent as that week where you're kind of cramming, right?

Huberman Lab

And what we realized is that if we could reorganize the stimulation in time so that we took the whole six-week course, we actually figured out a way to do it in a day.

And then what we also figured out is that people were underdosing TMS because if you just keep going after six weeks out to month three, four, five, more and more people got better.

So we figured out it's not just one day, we're gonna give five times the normal dose.

We're gonna have seven and a half months worth in five days.

using space learning theory.

Huberman Lab

So every hour?

Huberman Lab

Every hour for 10 hours.

Huberman Lab

For five days?

Huberman Lab

For five days.

Huberman Lab

So it's a 50-hour block.

Huberman Lab

It's 90 minutes of actual stimulation, but spread out through the day in the same way of learning.

What we've found is that
