Inside your head there is an amazing labor saving device; more effective than the latest high-tech computer. Your brain frees you from the everyday tasks of moving about in the world around you, allowing you to concentrate on the things that are important to you; making friends and influencing people. However, the 'you' that is released into this social world is also a construction of your brain. It is your brain that enables you to share your mental life with the people around you.
Making Up the Mind is the first accessible account of experimental studies showing how the brain creates our mental world. Using evidence from brain imaging, psychological experiments, and patient studies, Chris Frith, one of the world's leading neuroscientists, explores the relationship between the mind and the brain.
From Wikipedia:
Professor Chris Frith FRS, FBA (born March 16, 1942, United Kingdom - ) is an Emeritus Professor at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at University College London and a Niels Bohr Visiting Professor at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. His primary interest is in the applications of functional brain imaging to the study of higher cognitive functions in humans, although he is also well known for his earlier seminal work characterising the cognitive basis of schizophrenia.
With over 400 publications, Frith is one of the ISI Highly Cited authors in Neuroscience. His H-index is 117. He is author of a number of important neuroscience books, including the classic The Cognitive Neuropsychology of Schizophrenia (1992) and the popular science book Making up the Mind (2007) which achieved the long list for the Royal Society Science Book Award in 2008. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, the British Academy and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2009 ha was awarded the Fyssen Foundation Prize for his work on neuropsychology [1] and he and Uta Frith were awarded the European Latsis Prize for their work linking the human mind and the human brain] [2].

Since 2005, Chris has been on the editorial board of Biology Letters, dealing with papers in the category, Neurobiology.
我怎么现在才遇到这本书呢?这是我看到一半时的感受。 说明一下我的意思: 在我为自己忧伤12年之后, 在我研究心理学4年之后, 在我研究社会学3年之后, 在我为了想改变,读了如此多的书的时候《拖延心理学》,《自尊的六大支柱》等等的时候, 在我和其他人一起吐槽心灵鸡...
评分The book is quite a academic and a boring one even with a literary name which left me the first impression as a motivational book.Eventually,I found I was absolutely wrong.Summary is listed as fellows: With the devolopment of the facilities,Brain researche...
评分这本书带给`我`的震撼很大,然而这很大的震撼我还不太描述的清楚,但是我看了一下书评区,大概并没有我想表达的意思。 这本书带给我最大的震撼是两个,一个是,关于世界的模型,它让我分清了主次,一个是,让我开始思考:“我之何在?” 一、 我们对世界的感知是与现实相符的...
评分喜欢这种用实验,故事,数据进行叙述的书。我们善于联想,总是试图归纳看到的事物背后的规律,即使对随机事件也本能的倾向于此。思维的进化在某种程度上类似于贝叶斯模型,起初可能并不精确,随着观察和理解的深入,逐渐提高精度。但这不是自然而然的结果,如果意识不到这是个...

不错的。可以解决what,how..的问题...不能解决sort of "why"questions
评分我们都素那梦的造物
评分通俗易懂,区分了brain和mind,our brain do things that mind don't realize. 但是最后说我们之所以concious是因为我们对fair的需求需要我们作为有意识的个体存在。这一点着实说不通。因为公平本身就是意识的一部分
评分没有那么喜欢哟
