Mind Blog
Most of my recent effort has been devoted to "Deric Bownds'
MindBlog," which reports new ideas and work on mind,
brain, and behavior, as well as random curious stuff.
Mind Lectures & Writings
 Here you
will find a taste of the kind of material I've been working with
in the past few years. For a regular lecture length chunk I recommend
starting with the "The
I Illusion" lecture/essay, which contains a number
of simple demonstrations of how our minds work. If you want
to glance at only a few paragraphs, try Mindstuff
- Bonbons for the curious user. There are
several other brief essays you might find interesting.
In the early 1990's I developed an interdisciplinary
course at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, titled The
Biology of Mind. Lecture notes from that course were transformed into a
book aimed both at my course students and also the educated general
public.
Biology of Mind
This gives you a full web version of that book, with complete
references not included in the hard copy version (cover show
above), which can be obtained from either Amazon or John
Wiley & Sons.To contact me: mdbownds@wisc.edu,

Music & About
Me
Here you can learn more about me and my personal life and the
first 35 years of my professional life, which was devoted to
studying vision.
