Jeff Hawkins at PcForum: (Last night someone noted that his book index doesn't include [Roger Penrose].)

• "When I wrote the book, I didn't know how to build machines that work like the brain (Neuro Science). But now I do (based on mathematical modelling of [Neo Cortex])."

• The [Neo Cortex] (only mammals have it) is mainly "about" memory and prediction.

• A Prediction (ModEl) implies the potential for Surprise.

• It's all models of conditional probabilities. Time dimension is key. (Bayes Ian)

• Toy problem they are solving: image recognition.

• Technology being called [Hierarchical Temporal Memory]

Sounds like [Neural Net]-s, not sure whether it's as broad in scope as he makes it sound....
