After growing up in warring countries, Dame Uta and Christopher Frith met at university and have lived and worked together ever since. As scientists, they have shaped the way we think about the mind and the brain, overturning established beliefs about autism, schizophrenia, dyslexia and consciousness.In Two Heads they draw from their life's work to take the reader on a brilliantly illustrated journey through neuroscience. Spanning the birth of the field in the twentieth century, its place in the Friths' careers and the huge strides that have been made in the last half-century, Two Heads also introduces us to the new research on the horizon: the development of social cognition. We now have hard evidence that people working together will achieve better results than people working alone, and that those working in diverse groups make better decisions. Why is this the case, and what does this tell us about the way our brains are wired?Two Heads is an original look at how our brains work, and what neuroscience can teach us about cooperating with others.
