 My favorite magazine October 21, 2005

This is the best magazine I've read lately. It is still new, and I've only received 4 issues, but read each cover to cover, finding each article fascinating, and very accessible (unlike the parent publication, which is occasionally over my head.) It may be just because I like the subject matter - but it seems to me these are subjects which would interest most people. Some recent articles (as of Oct. 2005) included why we lie, the meaning of dreams, the nature of consciousness, what causes creativitity, what is deja vu. It is one subscription which is well worth the money. The only drawback I've found is that it is quarterly - sometimes it seems like a long wait between issues.
Scientific American Mind Magazine is Exceptional! July 19, 2005

Substantial number of articles and more interesting and informative than Psychology Today. And each one was well written, easy to read and not boring as some science articles can be. I like that there are just four issues a year so I don't feel the pressure to read all the magazines stacking up. And I am keeping the last issue as a reference, I usually just give them to friends. I eagerly await the next issue.

This is my favorite magazine about the mind, particularly with respect to consciousness. It's like a meeting of the minds (no pun intended) between spiritual phenomena and scientific discovery. The articles are seriously interesting and always have a new twist. I do wish it was printed more frequently however it is worth the wait for each issue.

I just finished reading the October 2007 article called Brain Stains. You've got to be kidding. There is NO substantiating material on any of this 'false memory' stuff in this article. In fact, this case was apparently dismissed. Therapists are a hard working bunch of people who are taking the rap for things that do not exist. If this magazine wants to make it with 'people in the know' they are going to have to go back and do some better journalizing. This is what I refer to as sensationalistic presentation. Get your facts straight. This is the 21st century and people are more aware of the need to provide out right proof. I may just read your magazine to let people know that you're shamming them.

A very, very invigorating magazine.. August 25, 2006

I am a IT prof. Thus, I subscribed to this mag.; only with the perspective to gain a "little" insight into the working of the brain, instead of having to go through tons of myraid med. literature. What I was pleasantly surprised with and I really mean it - is this editorial board's ability to present even day-to-day matter which even "might" concern some neural science in such a lovely and beautiful manner; that even my wife (who's just a plain house-wife) loves to read. The subject matter discussed IN NO WAY can be considered to be MEDICAL, but rather a CRITICAL APPRECIATION AND DISCUSSION of every-day issues and stuff we notice around each each day. The amount of advertisement is bare minimum ; quality of print is excellent ; the writings are terrific. ONE OF THE BEST MAGAZINES TO HAVE on SHELF. (Proof - my sister's 16-yr. old came to visit me. She's BUILT on video-games, Skype/AOL chat and MS Civilization III. She opened this mag., started to read it and finished the 4 issues I had till midnight!)
