Fisher Richard B. Brain Games. 134 Original Scientific Games That Reveal How Your Mind Works

Schocken Books, 1982. — 246 p. — ISBN: 0-8052-380O-X (hardback), 0-8052-0707-4 (paperback).The games in this book are designed to entertain. Yet most of them were originally experiments conducted by research workers in their own laboratories. Indeed, it is far more difficult to design an experiment capable of answering a relevant question than it is to carry it out. 1 am grateful to the experimenters and indebted both to them and to other writers who have described the how as well as the why. Acknowledgements for individual games appear in the References at the end of the book.
Brain Games puts you in the shoes of a research scientist opening up new avenues of knowledge. In the process of playing the games, I hope you will also discover your own brain.
All the games in this book are easy. None of them requires any special training. As the list (p. 6) shows, even the necessary props and materials can be found in your own home. Many of the games need the help of a friend, occasionally more than one, and there is no reason why some of the games should not be fun at a party.
