Publisher's summary

Bloomsbury presents Two Heads by Uta Frith, read by Jon Culshaw.

Charming and addictively accessible' STEVEN PINKER

'Original, authoritative and beautiful' BRIAN COX

'The most wonderful adventure' ROBIN INCE

A brilliant 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, Two Heads provides an expansive understanding of how our brains work, and how they work together.
