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.

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.

如書中所述,我們所感知的永遠不會是這整個世界,而總是這個世界極為有限的一小部分,大部分現實隻是我們憑經驗想象齣來的。因此,我們對世界的認識是極為片麵和有限的,我們之所以能憑著這有限的知識生存下來,是因為我們能將我們所看,所聽,所想的一切提煉成一個和本能相關...
評分很棒的書。 第一,不同於很多關於思維的書,本書不僅僅給齣一個結論,重要的是有支持的理論和說服力的實驗,一步一步的證明給你看。 第二,裏麵的實驗大都配有插圖,簡單明瞭。奇怪的是本書的實驗大部分都在其他的書中重復齣現過很多次瞭,難道心理學裏麵的實驗隻有那幾個嗎,...
評分07年的書,Eric Kandel的《追尋的記憶》都齣來瞭,這本還不齣來。Eric Kandel的《追尋的記憶》在Amazon上N多人好評,這本書...隻有五個人打分(不過全是五星)。書的推薦序裏麵就有Eric Kandel寫的推薦。 總的來說: 作者很牛逼(自己到wikipedia上查);講解很通俗;內容很有...

評分01 要有敬畏之心。 心智是什麼? 人類對這個問題探索瞭2500年,依然沒有找到確切的答案。 人們曾經將心智認為是一種神秘的物質、能量或者靈魂,隨著人類文明的發展,人們在哲學領域對此做瞭深入探討,並發展齣一個獨立的學科,心理學。 心理學一度將心智作為一個黑箱來處理,這...

:無
評分書中的實驗倒是有趣,但是有些結論僅憑一個兩試驗就得齣,未免太過草率,而且一眼就看齣有BUG。
評分從頭到尾穿插英式幽默好評 語言簡單明瞭易懂
評分大神Chirs Firth的這本Making up the mind, 心智的構建——腦如何創造我們的精神世界如果用為一句話來概括的話,大約可以錶達為:生物統一性vs文化多樣性(可惜Firth沒有明顯的提齣來,而我又早在迪昂那裏看到瞭)
評分知覺信息在大腦中被自動整閤成認知模型,生物隻能通過這個模型與外部世界互動。基於貝葉斯定理的認知模型是一個top down加工過程(利用已有知識經驗對外界刺激作齣篩選和預測)——構建認知模型,試行錯誤,修正模型直到錯誤微小到與現實衝突可忽略為止。而通過不斷修正獲得的主觀現實充其量隻是碰巧符閤客觀現實而已,兩者之間還是存在不可彌補的鴻溝,依舊沒有人知道外部世界的真實模樣。便秘瞭很多年的想法終於疏通瞭,很滿足。美中不足的是作者太抬舉與生俱來的錯覺本能,很多結論下得武斷又倉促,用詞特彆唬人,給人一種印象,即被大腦欺騙和玩弄是不可迴避的宿命。
