The relationship between brain and mind is one of the most baffling
problems in science but potentially one of the most interesting.
First published in 1985, this collection of original essays traces
the development of mind in animals and human beings from its
origins in the evolution of larger brains with a capacity for
creating mental models of the environment. Examples are given of
the way in which the brain may use this increased capacity to
represent both the physical and social worlds, and the authors
suggest that this type of mental activity might underly what human
beings recognize in themselves as 'awareness' or 'consciousness'.
Brain and Mind brings together much of the latest research and
provides a useful framework for the study of this increasingly
important subject. The contributors are experts in a wide range of
disciplines and draw their conclusions from a broad base of
clinical and experimental evidence. Students of psychology,
zoology, anatomy, medicine and philosophy, as well as anyone who
has wondered about their own mind and its relation to the brain,
will find this a fascinating and stimulating source.
