What is intelligence? Every human ability, from science, engineering, and agriculture, to art and literature, is created by the cells in our heads. How simple cells create our intelligence is perhaps the most important question of all time. A Thousand Brains presents a new theory that will have long-lasting implications not only for neuroscience, but the field of artificial intelligence and the long-term survival of our species.
Numenta • Press ReleaseUsing algorithms derived from its neuroscience research, Numenta announced today it has achieved dramatic performance improvements on inference tasks in deep learning networks without any loss in accuracy.
Numenta • Press ReleaseA new paper published in Frontiers in Neural Circuits titled, A Framework for Intelligence and Cortical Function Based on Grid Cells in the Neocortex, proposes a new way to understand how the neocortex works. Numenta’s Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence offers significant implications for the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
Numenta • Press ReleaseIn a new research paper titled A Framework for Intelligence and Cortical Function Based on Grid Cells in the Neocortex, Numenta researchers propose a broad framework for understanding what the neocortex does and how it works. Numenta’s Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence offers significant implications for the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
Numenta • Press ReleaseIn the Numenta Columns paper, they proposed a theory for how the brain learns models of objects through movement. The theory is an important piece of their goal to reverse-engineer the neocortex. In a blog titled “The Secret to Strong AI” on Medium, Jeff Hawkins describes the importance of the new theory to AGI.
