Abstract:

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
