Jeff Hawkins: Brain science is about to fundamentally chang


http://... To date, there hasn't been an overarching theory of how the human brain really works, Jeff Hawkins argues in this compelling talk. That's because we still haven't defined intelligence accurately. But one thing's for sure, he says: The brain isn't like a powerful computer processor. It's more like a memory system that records everything we experience and helps us predict, intelligently, what will happen next. Bringing this new brain science to computer devices will enable powerful new applications -- and it will happen sooner than you think.

If you mean he is wrong to think you can divorce intelligence from the physical body and from the emotions and still get intelligence; I am right there. How much of our understanding and predictions are weighted and triggered by emotional content, by sensory memories of touch, smell, sound; in short all the things managed superbly by the complex and ancient brain beneath the neocortex?

I think as computers become more advanced we will understand a lot more of how our brain works as computers are mimicing our own brains as they are a projection of our own mind.

Very interesting, I find him fresh, well motivated and targeting the right areas.

However, it is a pitty that all nueroscientists and modern philosophers of mind that I have come accross are ignorant of the body and its relationship with the world.

A brain makes no mind without a body and the bodies existence is entirely determined by its interaction with the world.

Good Luck!
