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...
评分这是我的神经学入门书,我还没读过其他的专业著作。我作为后生晚辈就不谈这本书中内容的正确与否了,谈谈个人看法。这是一本非常流畅而又结构严谨的书。这本书没有我看过的其他科学书籍那般用词晦涩深奥难懂,却又一种与作者一同探索大脑的刺激。作者的语言通俗幽默,和费曼先...
评分 评分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...
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...

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.

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。
评分不错的。可以解决what,how..的问题...不能解决sort of "why"questions
评分文笔很有趣,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
评分靠谱的科普,并且风趣得很
