Jeff Hawkins brought us the indispensable Palm and Treo -- now he's turned his attention to the human brain, looking to our gray matter for clues to the next generation of powerful computers and software. To date, there hasn't been an overarching theory of how the brain really works, Hawkins argues in this compelling talk -- because we still haven't defined intelligence accurately. But one thing's for sure, he says: The brain isn't like a powerful computer processor. It's more like a memory system that records everything we experience and helps us predict, intelligently, what will happen next. Bringing this new brain science to computer devices will enable powerful new applications -- and it will happen sooner than you think...
This presentation by Jeff Hawkins really just barely skims the surface of his broad framework for neuroscience. His talk is beyond fascinating and borders on "required viewing" if only he was given more time to go into the real details of his theories. I may have a biased opinion as I've read his book, On Intelligence which is by far, the best book I have ever read, and I truly believe everyone should read. This book will teach you about how you learn, why you learn, and help you to understand how to use your own brain better. I only wish I had been giving this book to read when I was in fifth grade and my brain was still supple and spongy, ready to absorb knowledge at a fantastic rate. If this talk interests you in the slightest, if you find the tiniest glimmer fascination, enjoyment, curiosity, revelation, in any of it, then you absolutely *must* read the book On Intelligence which has forever changed my life, and I'm sure it will change yours as well.
