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.
很棒的书。 第一,不同于很多关于思维的书,本书不仅仅给出一个结论,重要的是有支持的理论和说服力的实验,一步一步的证明给你看。 第二,里面的实验大都配有插图,简单明了。奇怪的是本书的实验大部分都在其他的书中重复出现过很多次了,难道心理学里面的实验只有那几个吗,...
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...
评分读此书还是冲着汪丁丁的推荐去的。 书的内容不知是作者有意取舍,还是资料较老,大多数都是已经知道的。信息感与新知启发均较为缺缺。 作者此书的写法也是针对普通读者,对阅读期待较高的我而言,落差较大。 当然其中的实验性证据还是比较重要。 总之,阅读体验平平。
评分认知的层次:大脑神经元neurons->感知Perception->知觉awareness->意识mind。感知无时无刻不在进行,而大多数时候我们都没有知觉到。而意识是我们对世界的建模,这个建模在人出生时就已存在,人类认识世界的过程,就是对意识中这个世界的模型进行不断试错(trial and error)并...
评分人盈于外观,而匮于内省,往往对认知结果印象深刻,而对认知过程感觉模糊。从生物进化论的视角来看,这一点也不奇怪。在残酷的生存竞争中,认知结果起关键作用,它能使我们做出恰当的行动,与身外的世界交互,并生存下来;至于获得结果的过程,已无关紧要,被我们彻底忽略了。 ...
文笔很有趣,内容引人入胜,注解很好玩。我对I and my brain的认识因为此书有一些改变,unconsciousness的力量远比想象中强大得多

评分作者这样一个大牛,构思了一个超级有趣的八卦科普小品文。看到“I find myself, somewhat to my surprise, sitting next to the professor of English”,笑爆了!2012.8.20,第一本看完的英文书。
评分脚注好有爱 ;不要这样损Professor of English嘛,哈哈// 一个有趣的观点,我们认为自己有自由意志是因为我们首先相信别人有自由意志,别人需要对他们自己的行为负责,否则“合作”就无从谈起 // 我也是这样认为的~ 合作(当然还有竞争、捕食等社会行为)让我们不得不去考虑别人是怎么“想”的,从别人的角度考虑问题,去预测对方的行为,这才产生了意识,意识才对我们有用 // QP376 .F686 2007
