Written by one of the world’s leading neuroscientists,
Making Up the Mind is the first accessible account of
experimental studies showing how the brain creates our mental
world.
* * Uses evidence from brain imaging, psychological experiments and
studies of patients to explore the relationship between the mind
and the brain
* Demonstrates that our knowledge of both the mental and physical
comes to us through models created by our brain
* Shows how the brain makes communication of ideas from one mind
to another possible
