On any serious discussion of neuroscience, I'd advise to keep Jeff Hawkins out of it. Not only are the ideas he publishes often gross simplifications with little data to back it up (but does wonders as marketing), they were ideas pushed and developed by real working neuroscientists. Just my opinion.

They read research papers on neuroscience and try to distill it down to applicable engineering problems for their HTM and see what works. i can't speak much as to their original research efforts, but i personally appreciate the engineering-research side of what they are doing.
