http://stochastix.wordpress.com [ Perfectly Reasonable Deviations] At last, neuroscience is having an impact on computer science and artificial intelligence (AI). For the first time, scientists in Tomaso Poggio’s laboratory at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT applied a computational model of how the brain processes visual information to a complex, real world task: recognizing the objects in a busy street scene.

[Onintelligence.org] On Intelligence - Reviews and Press: "Jeff Hawkins has written an original, thought-provoking and, with the help of Sandra Blakeslee, remarkably readable book that presents a new theory of the functions of the cerebral cortex in perception, cognition, action and intelligence. What is distinctive about his theory is the original way existing ideas about the cerebral cortex and its architecture have been combined and elaborated based on an extensive knowledge of how the brain works - what Hawkins calls Real Intelligence in contrast to computer-based Artificial Intelligence.

Nor are the machines likely to look or sound like the red-eyed, suave-voiced Hal of the 1968 blockbuster '2001: A Space Odyssey.' Rather, these computerized 'intelligent systems' could be near-invisible legions of microelectronic butlers and maids.
