如书中所述,我们所感知的永远不会是这整个世界,而总是这个世界极为有限的一小部分,大部分现实只是我们凭经验想象出来的。因此,我们对世界的认识是极为片面和有限的,我们之所以能凭着这有限的知识生存下来,是因为我们能将我们所看,所听,所想的一切提炼成一个和本能相关...
评分喜欢这种用实验,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 评分我怎么现在才遇到这本书呢?这是我看到一半时的感受。 说明一下我的意思: 在我为自己忧伤12年之后, 在我研究心理学4年之后, 在我研究社会学3年之后, 在我为了想改变,读了如此多的书的时候《拖延心理学》,《自尊的六大支柱》等等的时候, 在我和其他人一起吐槽心灵鸡...

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.
书中的实验倒是有趣,但是有些结论仅凭一个两试验就得出,未免太过草率,而且一眼就看出有BUG。
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Despite some typos in this book, if possible, I'd like it to rate it with 6 stars, if not more.
评分又是本能颠覆大众观念的科普读物。语言非常通俗,以至于有时我都觉得啰嗦。不过它却是我看过最多错别字的英文书,坑爹啊~
