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].
Chris is the brother of Fred Frith, the guitarist, and Simon Frith, the musicologist. He is also the husband of Uta Frith, a leading developmental psychologist.
Since 2005, Chris has been on the editorial board of Biology Letters, dealing with papers in the category, Neurobiology.

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。
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)并完善的过程。但是有些根深蒂固的模型,可能在这么试错,却很难被变更——这就产生了偏见。
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
