[Ismael Chang Ghalimi] On Intelligence: Among the great books I read last year, On Intelligence from Jeff Hawkins and Sandra Blakeslee was one of the best. Jeff Hawkins was the founder of Palm Computing and Handspring, but later started the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience to work on his lifelong passion for the mysteries of the brain, and among them how the neocortex

 [Bird's Eye View] The Accelerating Change Conference: Kurzweil was preceded this morning by Vernor Vinge, mathematician and sci-fi author (Fast Times at Fairmont High) who introduced the concept of the "soft takeoff", which is obviously contrasted with the "hard takeoff." The soft takeoff for the singularity would be one that takes years to occur, under 20 years, perhaps as few as two or so, but it would be a process that a few people would be able to think about and respond to as it occurs. The "hard takeoff" is one that occurs catastrophically and unexpectedly, in a matter of days, and catches us be surprise.

 [Tablet PC Thoughts] Prospects for AI @ AC2005: He reviewed the knowledge that they have gained, and some interesting points that they are exploring. One area they have learned about involves vision, and where for each neural connection of retinal data (vision) coming in from the outside world, there are 10 times as many feedback connections coming from the cortex of the brain.

[Neurodudes.com] neurodudes: “Multidisciplinary research within cognitive neuroscience has established itself as a promising approach to answering the question of how the mind emerges from the working of the brain” […] “One of the fields that has gained substantially by successfully combining the theoretical frameworks, methodologies, empirical results and insights of the varied disciplines within cognitive neuroscience, is the study of working memory”
