'Charming and addictively accessible' STEVEN PINKER 'Original,
authoritative and beautiful' BRIAN COX 'The most wonderful
adventure' ROBIN INCE A brilliantly illustrated journey through the
wonders and mysteries of the human brain - from a renowned
husband-and-wife team of cognitive neuroscientists. Professors and
husband-and-wife team Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered major
studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly fifty-year
career. In Two Heads, their distinguished careers serve as a prism
through which they share the compelling story of the birth of
neuroscience and their paradigm-shifting discoveries across areas
as wide-ranging as autism and schizophrenia research, and new
frontiers of social cognition including diversity, prejudice,
confidence, collaboration and empathy. Working with their son Alex
Frith and artist Daniel Locke, they examine the way that
neuroscientific research is now focused on the fact we are a social
species, whose brains have evolved to work cooperatively. What
happens when people gather in groups? How do people behave when
they're in pairs - either pitted against each other or working
together? Is it better to surround yourself with people who are
similar to yourself, or different? And, are two heads really better
than one? Highly original and ingeniously illustrated, Two Heads
provides an expansive understanding of how our brains work, and how
they work together.
