Scientific American Mind Print Magazine

I love this magazine because every article is way too interesting, and it's not so technical that the average high school grad wouldn't be able to understand but at the same time it's thorough enough that college students and i'm sure professionals and researchers love learning from this too. They seem to try to show both sides (or more if they exist) on each topic in order to try to be unbiased. It's always current evidence, research results, and sometimes compared to past beliefs. I would recommend anyone who was interested in anything that had to do with the brain and it's functions at least pick one off the stand at the store, you'll be intrigued!

Always a pleasure. This month's (January/February) issue with "Career Success for Adults with Autism" article really struck a chord with me, as I am a recently diagnosed high-functioning autistic adult, who has suffered recent career loss. Try, try again. Always helps, seeing these in my mail.

It has nice articles that are as good a quality as anything you can read in Scientific American, but the focus is on psychology, neural physiology, and the various research findings. And it is not difficult to read especially when you are just curious about such things rather than being a professional doing "publication research."It is written clearly, adequately detailed, and always thought provoking.

All I want is a magazine that keeps me up to date on interesting new things in the science of the mind.What I get with Scientific American Mind would be great if it showed respect for the basic principles of science. But, no. Anecdotes. Speculation about realities that lie outside the realm of empirical study. Hyperbolic headlines without research to support them.It's true that there are excellent and well-researched articles in these magazines. But they don't get much play on the cover and you have to dig to find them.Studies have shown that over time, people forget where they first heard information so they begin to believe unsubstantiated claims. Scientific American is making a generous contribution to this pool of ignorance.

Bought as a gift for my non-science-interested historian wife, I can only say that she loved it, and went on to seek out more information and books about how the brain and mind work. Thanks, Scientific American!

Scientific American's "Mind" magazine is filled with interesting articles regarding the human brain in its role that determines responses to various input, how diseases affect its function, and structural differences that cause brain specific diseases, e.g., mental health issues.If you like pursuing knowledge and trivia that will stimulate your understanding of the world, you will love Scientific American Mind.

I like to consider Scientific American Mind to be in the middle of the spectrum between Psychology Today and say, any other Psychological Journal. Psychology Today, of which I've had a subscription, is a bit hokey for my taste and seems to glamorize/popularize legitimate psychological concepts for the general public with fluff pieces. Most Psychological/Medical/Scientific Journals are not considered light reading and at times require a substantial background in the field. Scientific American Mind, on the other hand, assumes the reader has a general knowledge of these concepts and builds on it with current research and articles that are both informative and interesting. My only criticism is that there have been a few fluff pieces of late and I hope it doesn't eventually become an "easier" magazine in an effort to attract more readers.

I love the magazine and it's content. However it appears with Amazon's auto renewal at least with this magazine they process it as a new subscription which then takes 3 to 4 months to process as if I'm a new customer.
