Description
  Publication Date: October 26, 2010
  Human
intelligence is among the most powerful forces on earth. It builds sprawling cities, vast cornfields, coffee
plantations, and complex microchips; it takes us from the atom to the limits of the universe. Understanding how brains
build intelligence is among the most fascinating challenges of modern science. How does the biological brain, a
collection of billions of cells, enable us to do things no other species can do? In this book John Duncan, a scientist
who has spent thirty years studying the human brain, offers an adventure story—the story of the hunt for basic
principles of human intelligence, behavior, and thought.
  Using results drawn from classical studies of
intelligence testing; from attempts to build computers that think; from studies of how minds change after brain damage;
from modern discoveries of brain imaging; and from groundbreaking recent research, Duncan synthesizes often
difficult-to-understand information into a book that will delight scientific and popular readers alike. He explains how
brains break down problems into useful, solvable parts and then assemble these parts into the complex mental programs of
human thought and action.
  Moving from the foundations of psychology, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience to
the most current scientific thinking, How Intelligence Happens is for all those curious to understand how their own mind
works
  
  Reviews
  "John Duncan, one of the world's leading cognitive neuroscientists . . . makes a convincing case that [the brain's
frontal and parietal lobes] constitute a special circuit that is crucial for both [British psychologist Charles]
Spearman's 'g' and for intelligent behavior more generally."—Christopher F. Chabris,
Wall Street Journal
  
  “A comprehensive account of the brain mechanisms of cognition, not
only historical but also quite readable and offering a unique perspective and hypotheses. Duncan offers a more fluid
dynamic view of frontal cortex function that stands in contrast to the traditional model of cortical
function.”—Earl K. Miller, Picower Professor of Neuroscience, MIT
  
  “A highly personal and fascinating account of how the brain supports thought processes.” —Michael I. Posner, professor emeritus, University of Oregon
  
 
“This book is a timely, original, and highly readable contribution to our understanding of human intelligence and
its implementation in the brain, by a leading figure in cognitive neuroscience.”—Nancy Kanwisher, MIT
  
  "Like getting into a gripping novel... The
book is an invigorating read."—D. Wayne Dworsky, Sacramento Book Review
  
  “The experimental findings relating to human intelligence often are unexpected and arresting . . . The
opportunity to learn about these discoveries will make this book rewarding for the lay reader. At the same time, the
broad range of disciplines represented will provide many professional neurobiologists with welcome new facts and
ideas.”—Charles F. Stevens, Public Library of Science Biology
 

  Winner of the 2012 Heineken Prize for Cognitive Science, awarded to an
individual who has done outstanding work in cognitive science. The prize draws attention to the importance of studying
the cognitive functions of human and animals, a relatively new branch of science.
  The winners of the 2012
Heineken Prizes are chosen by independent juries appointed by the Royal Academy. The prizes are funded by the Dr. H.P.
Heineken Foundation and the Alfred Heineken Fondsen Foundation.
  The award is given by the Royal Netherlands
Academy of Arts and Sciences endowed by Heineken Foundation.
  Professor Duncan is receiving the Dr. A.H. Heineken
Prize for Cognitive Science for his remarkable innovative, multidisciplinary research into the relationships between
psychology, behaviour and intelligence on the one hand and neural processes on the other. His concepts have become a
cornerstone of cognitive neuroscience.(Dr. A.H. Heineken Prize for Cognitive Science Royal
