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.

07年的书,Eric Kandel的《追寻的记忆》都出来了,这本还不出来。Eric Kandel的《追寻的记忆》在Amazon上N多人好评,这本书...只有五个人打分(不过全是五星)。书的推荐序里面就有Eric Kandel写的推荐。 总的来说: 作者很牛逼(自己到wikipedia上查);讲解很通俗;内容很有...
评分“我”在哪里?作为一个脑神经科学家,作者试图用一些现代科学实验的结论来探寻大脑(brain)和意识(mind)的区别和建议。归纳下来,主要有几点: 1. 大脑负责对客观世界的感知; 2. 意识对客观世界的感知只是建立在大脑对世界感知基础上的模型(有时候这个模型是相当不准确的); 3...
评分大神Chirs Firth的这本Making up the mind, 心智的构建——脑如何创造我们的精神世界如果用为一句话来概括的话,大约可以表达为:生物统一性vs文化多样性(可惜Firth没有明显的提出来,而我又早在迪昂那里看到了),虽然douban上的评介很高,不过个人以为这本书的优点和缺点同...

这本《Making Up the Mind》我一直想找机会仔细阅读,但最近实在太忙了,手上积压的书籍实在太多,每天光是应付工作和生活就已经筋疲力尽,更不用说抽出大块的时间来沉浸在一本需要深度思考的书籍中了。我平时阅读的习惯是,一旦开始,就会尽可能地投入其中,不允许自己分心,所以,我需要一个相对完整的周末或者假期,才能心无旁骛地去享受阅读的乐趣。每次看到《Making Up the Mind》躺在书架上,我都会产生一种“既期待又畏惧”的情绪,期待它能为我带来新的启发和视角,但又担心自己无法给予它应有的关注。这本书的题材我非常感兴趣,它触及了一些我一直以来都在思考的哲学和心理学问题,我相信它一定能够引发我许多共鸣。可惜的是,目前的生活节奏不允许我做到这一点,我只能暂时将它珍藏起来,等待一个更好的时机,再去细细品味它所蕴含的智慧。
评分我最近在整理我的电子书库,突然翻到了《Making Up the Mind》这本书的电子版。当时我并没有立刻下载和阅读,主要是因为电子阅读对我来说,总感觉少了些纸质书那种独特的质感和仪式感。我更喜欢捧着一本实体书,翻阅纸张时发出的细微声响,以及墨香与纸香混合的气息,这些都能让我更快地进入到一种专注的阅读状态。而且,电子书屏幕的光线有时会让我眼睛疲劳,长时间阅读下来,不如纸质书来得舒适。尽管我知道《Making Up the Mind》的内容非常吸引我,它涵盖了我一直以来对某些抽象概念的好奇,但因为我个人对阅读载体的偏好,导致我一直在犹豫是否要真的去深入阅读它。或许,我会等到有机会去书店,重新购买一本实体版的《Making Up the Mind》,然后再开始我的阅读之旅,这样更能体现我对这本书的尊重和期待。
评分我经常会在通勤的路上听一些有声书,这是一种非常高效的学习方式。最近我一直在寻找一些能够拓展我视野、激发我思考的书籍,而《Making Up the Mind》这个名字,听起来就充满了这种潜力。我曾在网上看到过关于这本书的一些简要介绍,虽然具体内容我还没有来得及细看,但它所暗示的关于认知、决策、以及意识本质的探讨,确实触动了我。我好奇作者是如何将这些复杂而深刻的议题,以一种引人入胜的方式呈现出来的。我尤其喜欢那些能够挑战我固有观念、让我重新审视自己思维模式的书籍。我希望《Making Up the Mind》能够成为这样一本对我产生深远影响的书。我打算在下次的通勤时间里,去寻找它的有声读物版本,开始我的聆听之旅。
评分我不得不承认,《Making Up the Mind》这本书的封面设计和版式风格,在第一时间就吸引了我。它给人一种非常现代、简洁且富有思考性的感觉,这恰恰是我在选择书籍时非常看重的一个方面。一本好的书,不仅内容要扎实,它的呈现方式也同样重要,能够引发读者的初步好奇心,并为其阅读体验奠定基调。我尤其喜欢它那种留白得当、字体清晰的排版,我相信这样的设计能够大大提升阅读的流畅度和舒适度。虽然我还没有深入到书的内容本身,但仅凭其外观,我就已经对它产生了很高的好感。我猜想,这本书在内容编排上,或许也同样遵循了这种清晰、有条理的逻辑,能够引导读者一步步地深入到作者的思想之中。总而言之,这本书在视觉层面上,已经成功地赢得了我的好感。
评分我是一个喜欢深度探索知识边界的读者,通常情况下,一本能够引起我强烈求知欲的书,我会立刻投入大量时间和精力去阅读和理解。然而,《Making Up the Mind》这本书,虽然名字听起来非常引人入胜,并且触及了许多我一直以来都深感好奇的领域,比如人类思维的形成机制、决策过程中的认知偏差等等,但最近我遇到了一些特别棘手的问题,需要我投入大量的精力去解决。这些问题涉及到了我的专业领域,我必须集中所有的注意力去分析和研究。因此,《Making Up the Mind》这本书,尽管我非常想读,但不得不暂时先放在一边,等我把眼前的这些挑战一一克服之后,我一定会毫不犹豫地拿起它,进行一次深入的阅读和思考。我相信,届时我的思维也会更加成熟,更能理解书中蕴含的深刻道理。
评分This is a book about how our brain works. Our minds are so full of hallucinations and delusions. Our perception of the world is a fantasy coincides with reality,
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
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Despite some typos in this book, if possible, I'd like it to rate it with 6 stars, if not more.
评分靠谱的科普,并且风趣得很
