The Problem With Jeff Hawkins
The Problem With Jeff Hawkins
"After those chapters were published, Jeff Hawkins published OnIntelligence, started a new company (Numenta) to develop software on his ideas and came close to getting it right.
But not right.
It is admirable that Hawkins has been searching for how the brain works. He started Redwood Neuroscience Institute to research the brain. He obviously has put great thought into how it works. But he has committed the one single error most known to neuroscience. He has imposed what he believes he perceives upon what he has perceived."
