Name: The mind is flat
Rating: 2.5 (2 reviews)
Author: Nick Chater

Psychologists and neuroscientists have long posited that beneath conscious awareness lies a complex network of inner beliefs, values, and desires that shape our thoughts and actions. In *The Mind Is Flat*, behavioral scientist Nick Chater disputes this assumption, contending that the brain produces behavior in the present moment entirely on the basis of past experiences. Using compelling experiments and visual illustrations, he dismantles our intuitive notions of how the mind functions and presents a view of the brain as a ceaseless, creative improviser.

First publish date: 2018

📘 Conversations in the cognitive neurosciences

by Gazzaniga, Michael S.

Conversations in the Cognitive Neurosciences is a brief, informative yet informal guide to recent developments in the cognitive neurosciences by the scientists who are in the thick of things. "Getting a fix on important questions and how to think about them from an experimental point of view is what scientists talk about, sometimes endlessly. It is those conversations that thrill and motivate," observes Michael Gazzaniga. Yet all too often these exciting interactions are lost to students, researchers, and others who are "doing" science. Conversations in the Cognitive Neurosciences brings together a series of interviews with prominent individuals in neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, and psychology that have appeared over the past few years in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience.
