Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Combining the talents of 11 of the world's top psychologists and neurobiologists, Secrets of the Mind is an authoritative and subtly interactive CD-ROM which aims to give the lowdown on perhaps the greatest of scientific mysteries: our very own brains.

Unlike the challenging subject matter, the format is simple and neat. Click on any of umpteen pictures on the central "mind map", with titles such as Emotional Intelligence, Consciousness & Perception, or The Learning Brain, and one of those 11 experts will then appear mid-screen, to give an illuminating lecture on his favoured field of neuroscience. And when the talking gets a bit wearisome, as it sometimes does, you can then shut the teacher up with pleasing ease, and access one of the funky interactive psychiatric games, or diverting audio-visual displays on particular cerebral functions, or even listen in as other boffins have a heated on-disk debate on, say, dreaming, or memory.

If there is a fault with this set-up it's that the teaching can be a little dry, even over-earnest. But given that most of the educational CD-ROMs out there err on the side of childishness and garishness, that's almost a welcome flaw. A good buy for serious students. --Sean Thomas
