内容説明
"Introducing Mind and Brain" examines a profound and mysterious puzzle: how does the biological tissue that makes up the brain give rise to the activities that our culture refers to as 'the mind'? How does the three pounds of electric sponge stowed in the top of your head allow you to experience enchantment in front of an evening landscape, and then make you remember the shopping, say 'Damnl' and head off to the supermarket? This book explains what the sciences have to say about planning and action, language, memory, attention, emotions and vision. It traces the historical development of ideas about the brain and its function from antiquity to the age of neuro-imaging. Through a clear combination of words and images, writer Angus Gellatly and award-winning artist Oscar Zarate invite the reader to take a fresh look at the nature of mind, consciousness and personal identity.

: Giant Panda Washington, DC - 2009年10月17日Fascinating introduction to the workings of the human mind
I really enjoyed this comic-book style introduction. It was easy to read, yet thought-provoking and educational. I learned a lot of things I did not know before. Makes me want to learn more, and has a list of books for additional reading. I gave it one star less since I think the historical introduction at the beginning misses a lot and in some cases is not correct. For example saying that phrenology was invented around 1800 by Franz Gall completely ignores the Arabic phrenology textbooks from 1000 years earlier. Overall the book is highly Eurocentric and makes little of developments outside of that continent.
: Curmudgeon99 Manhattan, NY - 2008年4月7日The Best Insights To Brain Architecture--A 'Must-Own' For Brain Researchers
Recently, I have been reading several books on the brain--not just its cold, on-the-slab anatomy but its functional anatomy at the neuron column level. I read:
"On Intelligence" [Jeff Hawkins] which was excellent
"The Creative Brain" [Nancy Andreason]
"Origins of Genius" [Keith Simonton]
among others.
This one tiny volume, almost like a comic book at first glance because of the profusion of illustrations [one of these authors must be left handed], was the absolute most important resource on the structure and function of the brain. Other books I read and set aside. This one I keep around as a guide book to the brain. I would suggest this "Introducing Mind and Brain" book and "On Intelligence" as the only must buy.
: David Wallace Croft Carrollton, TX USA - 2006年3月7日Related to A.I. and Consciousness
I have just finished reading Introducing Artificial Intelligence, Introducing Mind & Brain, and Introducing Consciousness from Icon books. In reading these back to back, it reminded me that they are all different views on the same subject. This was a rewarding experience for me. I recommend that you read these books together if you can.
"Introducing Mind & Brain" could have been titled "Introducing Neuroscience". Those readers having difficulty buying into the functionalist materialist viewpoint described in the other two books will find persuasive evidence here.
