If you wan't a good intuitive understanding of the neocortex then I seriously suggest reading up on Sparse Distributed Representations. A theory refined by Gerard Rinkus and Jeff Hawkins.
- sj4nz 12y agoIs this akin to Kurzweil's [Pattern Recognition Theory of Mind][0] that estimates about 300 million pattern recognizers in the brain?

- closetnerd 12y agoHonestly, for me at least, the ideas that Kurzweil puts forwards are repetitive of the same things Hawkins discusses in his book [On Intelligence][0]. Sparse Distributed Representations are a newer idea that Kurzweil hasn't yet discussed. Actually there was a Google Talk that Hawkins gave about Sparse Distributed Representations and Kurzweil was present.
