An accessible and engaging account of the mind and its connection
to the brain.The mind encompasses everything we experience, and
these experiences are created by the brain--often without our
awareness. Experience is private; we can't know the minds of
others. But we also don't know what is happening in our own minds.
In this book, E. Bruce Goldstein offers an accessible and engaging
account of the mind and its connection to the brain. He takes as
his starting point two central questions--what is the mind? and
what is consciousness?--and leads readers through topics that range
from conceptions of the mind in popular culture to the wiring
system of the brain. Throughout, he draws on the latest research,
explaining its significance and relevance. Goldstein discusses how
the mind has been described and studied since the nineteenth
century, and surveys modern approaches to studying mind-brain
connections; considers consciousness and how the nervous system
creates experience; and explores the hidden mechanisms of the
brain. Then, in the heart of the book, he focuses on one principle
that holds across a wide range of the mind's functions: prediction.
All the behaviors and physiological processes associated with
prediction--including eye movements, tactile sensation, language,
music, memory, and social processes--involve communication between
different places in the brain. The mind emerges not from the firing
of neurons in one specialized area but from communications that
travel across what Goldstein calls "highways of the mind."
