“ The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation. ”
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.
I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains.
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.
