Our Commitment to Quality
The Brain Maze exists to make science accessible without making it inaccurate. Simplifying an idea should mean removing jargon, not removing nuance. When a topic resists a short explanation, we either give it the room it needs or we leave it alone. We would rather explain one thing properly than a hundred things quickly.
Fact-Checking Process
Every piece begins with the source material rather than the idea for the video. We read the study, review, or primary reporting first, then decide what can honestly be said about it. Before publication, each script is checked against its sources by someone who did not write it. Where a finding is preliminary, based on a small sample, or still debated among researchers, we say so in the piece itself.
Sources and Citations
Every claim on The Brain Maze is traced back to a peer reviewed study, a primary source, or a recognized scientific body before it reaches you. We favor original research and the researchers who conducted it over secondary coverage, and we prefer recent reviews when the science has moved on.
Corrections Policy
We publish a lot, and we will sometimes get something wrong. When we do, we correct it openly rather than quietly. Substantive errors are fixed and the correction is noted on the piece, so readers can see what changed and when. If you believe we have published something inaccurate, write to [email protected] with the claim and, where possible, a source. We take these seriously and we respond.
Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently. Sponsors and partners have no influence over which topics we cover or what we conclude about them, and any sponsored or paid content is clearly labeled as such. We do not accept payment to present a particular finding favorably.
