    Mind Hacks

    Tom Stafford & Matt Webb

    2005-02-23

    Mind Hacks is an interesting look at how we use our brains everyday in different situations. It’s a very active book, showing principles of brain psychology concretely in ways that anyone can try out by themselves or with neat tricks posted somewhere on the internet.

    Heres a list of my favorites:

    • 11: Why People don’t Work like Elevator Buttons
    • 30: UNderstand the Rotating Snakes Illusion
    • 40: Blind to Change
    • 51: Stop Memory Buffer Overrun while Reading

    The entire chapter five is interesting from a design point of view – it deals with how to integrate different aspects of what been covered so far into an efficient and easy to understand (from the human perspective) display.

    • 95: Make Yourself Happy
    • 100: You are What You Think You are

    An interesting book that fit well with a few articles I got in magazines yesterday – really firing my interest in brain function and how we all really work up there.
