The most wonderful adventure ROBIN INCE
A brilliant journey through the wonders and mysteries of the human brain from a renowned husbandandwife team of cognitive neuroscientists
Professors and husbandandwife team Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered major studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly fiftyyear 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 paradigmshifting discoveries across areas as wideranging 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 theyre 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 Two Heads provides an expansive understanding of how our brains work and how they work together
