“ I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains. ”
I believe consciousness is simply what it feels like to have a neocortex.
~ Jeff Hawkins
The neocortex is not like a computer, parallel or otherwise. Instead of computing answers to problems the neocortex uses stored memories to solve problems and produce behavior.
Prediction is not just one of the things your brain does. It is the primary function of the neo-cortex, and the foundation of intelligence.
The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation.
