Emeritus Professor Angus Gellatly's research interests are in cognitive psychology broadly conceived. Over the years they have included memory, reasoning, ergonomics and cognitive development. He has also explored how the sociology of knowledge can be applied to psychological knowledge claims and has been particularly concerned with how attributions of cognitive competence are or are not made to humans, animals and machines.
The focus of his current research interest is in visual cognition. He has had recent ESRC grants to investigate visual attention and visual masking. The aim of this work is to understand the processes involved in deriving a representation of the environment in terms of objects and background, and how these processes influence and are influenced by different forms of visual attention. Or, put more simply, why you usually do but sometimes don't see what's in front of you!

The book has some interesting and noteworthy points on our behaviour and the behavior of mentally affected ones. liked it

Birkaç sene önce bu Çizgi Bilim serisinden birkaç kitabı çizimleriyle birlikte anlatımlarınım yalın ve anlaşılması kolay olduğunun söylenmesi üzerine almıştım. Zihin ve Beyin'i de kitabı aldıktan birkaç ay sonra okudum.
Kitabın içeriğinin çok da yalın ve anlaşılabilir düzeyde olmadığını düşünüyorum. Belki de buna sebep benim ilgimi çekecek tarzda daha somut örnekler yerine daha teorik şekilde açıklamalar kullanılmış olmasıdır.
Kitabı okuduktan bir zaman sonra aklımda kitapla ilgili hiçbir şey kalmadığını farkettim. Belki bu kitap böyledir, çünkü okuduğum ilk kitap bu olunca diğerlerini okumak istemedim. Bir gün...

I had previously read 'Introducing evolutionary psychology:..." illustrated by Oscar Zarate and had enjoyed it immensely, so had high hopes form this book. And I must say I was not disappointed!
This is a very accessible introducing to neuroscience, including its history and contemporary explorations in visual, affective and cognitive neuroscience. I thoroughly enjoyed it and finished it one single sitting. Highly recommended!
