Thanks for the links. I'm a huge fan of Stephen Pinker. Most deep learning people I talk to acknowledge the algorithms & data structures are only lightly inspired by brain anatomy. Michael Jordan makes this point well in this IEEE article: http://spectrum.ieee.org/robotics/artificial-intelligence/machinelearning-maestro-michael-jordan-on-the-delusions-of-big-data-and-other-huge-engineering-efforts http://spectrum.ieee.org/robotics/artificial-intelligence/ma... Donna Dubinsky and Jeff Hawkins and the team at Numenta are doing the most explicit biomimicry work I'm aware of. What else is happening that you know of?

There's a ton. Jeff and his team are on a very particular course and have been since 2004. There are some other things happening in the space and it has to do with collection of data and sensory inputs similar to 5 year old child. Send me an email at kasian.franks@gmail.com to continue as I don't check back on these comments too often. Stephen Pinker gave a somewhat unbiased analysis of CTM (Computational Theory of the Mind) a while ago. Very relevant.
