The brain has models of everything, and all in all, information is in these reference everything. How does your model, your theory of intelligence, scale up to those modul well, just remember what now cassell said. He said, yes, you canyu can say these, that's the face recognition or this is a language. But he says, they're all working on the same principle. And lik, why?

How could that word, how could
Michael Shermer speaks with Jeff Hawkins, cofounder of Numenta: a neuroscience research company, about his new book A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence in which Hawkins explains how simple cells in the brain create intelligence by using maplike structures to build hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. Listen to this in-depth dialogue about the discoveries that allow 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.
