DigitalFUTURES DOCTORAL CONSORTIUMAI, NEUROSCIENCE + ARCHITECTURE Jeff Hawkins, A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence 27 February 2022, 10.00 am ESJeff Hawkins is a scientist and co-founder at Numenta, an independent research company focused on neocortical theory. His research focuses on how the cortex learns predictive models of the world through sensation and movement. In 2002, he founded the Redwood Neuroscience Institute, where he served as Director for three years. The institute is currently located at UC Berkeley. Jeff Hawkins, a Silicon Valley veteran who spent the last decade exploring the mysteries of the human brain, arranged a meeting with DeepMind, the world's leading AI lab. Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world—not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought. Jeff Hawkins uses wonderfully clear and fast-moving prose to give an accessible overview of a theory of human intelligence that is likely to be very influential in the future."― Michael Hasselmo, Director, Boston University Center for Systems Neuroscience "Jeff Hawkins' book is that rare beast: A new theory about one of the oldest mysteries Jeff Hawkins pioneered the development of PDAs such as the Palm and Treo. Now he's trying to understand how the human brain really works, and adapt its method -- which he describes as a deep system for storing memory -- to create new kinds of computers and tools. In 1998, Donna Dubinsky and Jeff Hawkins quit Palm, a company they'd founded, to begin a new one: Handspring. They had a simple goal in mind: to eventually create the smartphone.
