It's hard to conceive of a topic of more broad and personal interest than the study
of the mind. In addition to its traditional investigation by the disciplines of psychology,
psychiatry, and neuroscience, the mind has also been a focus of study in the fields
of philosophy, economics, anthropology, linguistics, computer science, molecular biology,
education, and literature. In all these approaches, there is an almost universal fascination
with how the mind works and how it affects our lives and our behavior. Studies of
the mind and brain have crossed many exciting thresholds in recent years, and the
study of mind now represents a thoroughly cross-disciplinary effort. Researchers from
a wide range of disciplines seek answers to such questions as: What is mind? How does
it operate? What is consciousness? This Encyclopedia brings together scholars from
the entire range of mind-related academic disciplines from across the arts and humanities,
social sciences, life sciences, and computer science and engineering to explore the
multidimensional nature of the human mind
