Chris Frith is Emeritus Professor of Neuropsychology at the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging at University College London and Honorary Research Fellow at the Institute of Philosophy, University of London. He has contributed many papers to scientific journals and is the author of The Cognitive Neuropsychology of Schizophrenia and Making up the Mind: How the Brain Creates our Mental World. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and the British Academy. After several years trying to understand schizophrenia, Chris pioneered the application of brain imaging to the study of mental processes such a consciousness and free will. He has become increasingly interested in social interactions (how we make decisions together, why we cooperate) and in the role of culture in consciousness and free will. In 2014 he was awarded the Jean Nicod Prize (jointly with Uta Frith) for philosophical oriented work in cognitive science. Together, Chris & Uta developed the idea for Two heads a graphic exploration of how our brains work with other brains.
