07/18/2001 Archived Entry: "How the Mind Works"

I've recently been reading How the Mind Works by Steve Pinker, which is a pretty decent non-pop-science book about cognition and neural computation. I have to admit that I'm finding it slightly hard going; unlike my usual 'finish a book a day' tack which I employ reading most other stuff, with How the Mind Works I'm pleased when I manage to get 70 pages done. Just goes to show that I haven't been reading anywhere near as many science books as I should be.

Still, it's all very good stuff and I'm looking forward even more to the Neurobiology and Experimental Psychology courses I'll be doing next year.
