This man is going to get a Nobel prize one day, not too far from now.

Jeff will get a Nobel prize, and grow Numenta way beyond Qualcomm's status in telecom industry.

One of the best interviews I have seen from your channel. Thank you so much for putting them on here. The benefits are a bit intagnible but having knowledge being shared in this manner really does make a difference in the world. What an inspiring man! He has such an excellent understanding of the layering of the cortex and how it operates. I think his bigger vision adds to everything he does, and is apparent in his view of the physiology and phenomenology of the brain. He has said before that he's not going to adhere to theories if evidence contradicts them. In a lecture he gave he was pushed about something he said, and he replied: "this is what the data says." His outsider perspective on neuroscience aids him in his ability to research and steer his study. I noticed that he said he took a year to read papers and learn about neuroscience. That is the mark of a truly dedicated seeker of the truth.

Totally agreed. Jeff is extraordinary.

Harry Kreisler : I think you asked really interesting questions, I found them very well placed . It was delight to hear this conversation.

Excellent! I was at Cornell, AAP71 and when comming up with a new idea, was told that I should get out of architecture and go write science fiction. Looking back, I should have. Later that idea came out on the cover of life magizine - which brings up the question about brains being separate entities.7 I have a great deal to discuss with Jeff Hawkins including the effect Palm Computers almost had on education (and still can).

Great talk!

Jeff is amazing. So much in common with Mr. Kurzweil... :)

+Luismi Samperio How so? I find the two to be extremely different. Hawkins is far more realistic and down to earth. Kurzwell is too put in mildly living in a kind of unrealistic dream. Hawkins is interested in humans. Kurzwell is interested primarily in machines and robots.

+David Watermeyer Yeah, you are right. I was talking more about the hierarchichal model of the brain they both suggest

Some really interesting stuff!!

9:11, 9:37: I wasn't just up against a scientific problem, but I have a institutional problem. If people agree that this is a good thing to do, And you can't do it, that's an institutional problem as well.

Good interview. Love the retro intro and outro.

Turn on automatic captions and go to 05:58 How rude! :)

The Institute of Interational Studies? Or is it International?

Applying the concept of 'representation' to sub-personal brain processes is patently homuncular (at best metaphorical). Representation is a behavioral level activity (Inman Harvey, "Misrepresentations" 2008). What precisely does Hawkins mean by "representation"?

I don't think makes sense to separate the word representations from the term sparse distributed representations or SDRs, it's the whole foundation of Hawkins work on neocortex learning algorithmics. Basically a memory with the ability to store a symbol but also information about the symbols features in the universe it belongs to. Look it up, it's the main eureka moment in Hawkins theory of how neocortex works, imho...

Hmm... Not sure if hierarchy is the best way to describe the process of how neuron cortex processing when someone talk. Does nature always do hierarchical or that just human way of thinking?

Did I really had to wait more than half hour so this guy could start talking the real subject here. What a waste!

The guy who is conduction the interview sounds like the old pervert from family guy.
