Customer Reviews of The Universe Within: A New Science Explores the Human Mind

This is the book that set me on my way as a scientist
I was an Econ major until I read this book - I now have an undergraduate degree in cognitive science and a DPhil in neuropsychology. This book turned me on the fun stuff that is the science of the mind. It led me to Douglas Hofstadter, on to Oliver Sacks and a host of other authors and I was so influenced by it that I mentioned Morton Hunt in the dedication to my dissertation. Buy this book if you want to be captivated by what we are beginning to understand about how the mind works - how we think, remember and solve problems and engage in conversation.

Where children's ideas come from:
Solving new problems:
Mind over computer:

There are several illustrations and tests. No breakthrough theories.
