Computer To Replicate Human Brain

Jeff Hawkins, founder of PDA pioneers Palm Inc. and Handspring Inc. has started Numenta Inc. with the goal of facilitating systems that mimic the brain's neocortex, the structure seen as responsible for the evolution of intelligence. Called hierarchical temporal memory, it's based on Hawkins' theory described in his 2004 book, On Intelligence. "These systems aren't reproducing systems; there's no life here," he says. "It's just thinking; it's very cerebral."

I'll bet that when the robot apocalypse happens and everyone is running for their lives, some smartass is going to take the time to make a meme of what that guy said at the end mixed in with news footage of robots killing people.

Imagine a synthetic conscious entity that was everyone's BFF simultaneously. Don't we have a name for that already?

My head circumference is about 23-24. How big do you think my brain is? Is it an average size brain or is it small?

The framework has been available since March 5th of this year. Additionally, the Windows version was released today!

a tad of this, a tad of neurons in a dish... add some artifical muscles and other high-tech robotics. cover it in Flubber and voila! cool robots....in 10-20 years :p

Do you know how far they are with their framework? I subscribe to their news letter, but have not heard anything in a long time...

Have you read "on intelligence"?
