Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Two Heads is the work of four heads put together: Uta Frith, Christopher Frith, Alex Frith and Daniel Locke.

Uta Frith, an expert of both autism and dyslexia, has been ranked one of the most eminent research psychologists of the modern era and currently serves as the President of the British Science Association. Christopher Frith, psychologist and professor emeritus at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, has been ranked among the ten most influential brain scientists of the modern era. He is a pioneer in the use of brain imaging, and was a senior member of the team that discovered enlargement of the hippocampus in the brains of London taxi drivers. Their son, Alex Frith, is a publisher and writer at Usborne Publishing. Daniel Locke is a Brighton-based artist and comics creator who has worked with Arts Council England, the Wellcome Trust and the National Trust.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A brilliantly illustrated journey through the wonders and mysteries of the human brain - from a renowned husband-and-wife team of cognitive neuroscientists.

Professors and husband-and-wife team Uta and Chris Frith have pioneered major studies of brain disorders throughout their nearly fifty-year 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 paradigm-shifting discoveries across areas as wide-ranging 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 they're 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 and ingeniously illustrated, Two Heads provides an expansive understanding of how our brains work, and how they work together.
