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.
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。 ...

評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。
評分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...
作者這樣一個大牛,構思瞭一個超級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”,笑爆瞭!2012.8.20,第一本看完的英文書。
评分kindle第19本。
评分通俗易懂,區分瞭brain和mind,our brain do things that mind don't realize. 但是最後說我們之所以concious是因為我們對fair的需求需要我們作為有意識的個體存在。這一點著實說不通。因為公平本身就是意識的一部分
评分文筆很有趣,內容引人入勝,注解很好玩。我對I and my brain的認識因為此書有一些改變,unconsciousness的力量遠比想象中強大得多
评分Too simple (and jokes are not funny thanks)! Bayesian model in the brain is the only interesting part. ps, damaged brains do very scaring things... sigh...
