Jeff Hawkins: Brain science is about to fundamentally change computing

May 15, 2008 - Oh, that would be great! Because there are very many bad translators out there.

ELuhn Says:

May 26, 2008 - After watching this video and reading some of the comments, I think that the reason we don't have any brain theory is that we are still too heavily invested in mysticism. Our egos reject any theory as too "mechanistic," forgetting the massive scope of the system and the emergent properties that make the whole more than the sum of its parts. Thus, no theory is explored and developed enough to be tested.

We are not many, we are all ONE ethereal entity of observance and creation. The phenomenon of individual observance is simply a byproduct of the super-consciousness molding into the physical universe.

Jul 11, 2008 - you are not your brain and you are not your body. this is how the nazis, using eugenics and psychiatry encouraged mass murder by attempting to remove the existence of a human soul from our beliefs and therefore removing the guilt associated with killing "inferior" humans. this flawed philosophy will not take mankind anywhere good... ever

SlowAndSteady2 Says:

Jul 12, 2008 - Eugenics is a doctrine, the belief of human guided evolution. Psychiatry is is the control over the brain with the use of mind-altering drugs. (Perhaps you mean psychology?)Think of your brain as a body part, the one which controls all other body parts, including the endocrine system (hormones, emotions). The brain enables the mind to interact with the physical world. There are many eugenicists who have become numb suffering, or have indulged in the ideal of genetic superiority and antagonism.

BIGJ88888888 Says:

Jul 14, 2008 - my point being; we still have souls and the brain is nothing more than a communication centre.your point is not entirely clear to me.

SlowAndSteady2 Says:

Jul 14, 2008 - All religions, sciences, and arts are branches of the same tree. - Albert Einstein.It's not the knowledge of how the brain works that destroys peoples' sensitivity to the suffering of others, any religion can do that. Likewise you can make it easier for your followers to kill their fellow man by regarding and referring to them as insects, parasites, less than animal. We're all the same and we all wish to avoid pain and suffering. That was my point.

DJLorenzen Says:

Jul 18, 2008 - Jeff Hawkins ideas about artificial(real) intelligence smells right to me... to hear more check his other talks about AI out here on youtube.his book "on intelligence" is very well written and many of his observations make very much sense when you think about them...you can find the book on the net for free if you look the right places.

Oct 7, 2008 - He said C3PO wrong!But that's about the only bad thing he said. :)

Oct 10, 2008 - Why only 30 000 people have watched this?

bananian Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - he's disproving Descartes! NOooooo!!!! :)

mlcrazi Says:

Oct 17, 2008 - Hawkins' theory on intelligence seems quite similar to Hecht-Nielsen's Confabulation Theory. I took his graduate neurocomputing class and we programmed systems that have similar memory/comparison/prediction to what Hawkins is saying.

Hallibutbouy Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - Very interesting, I find him fresh, well motivated and targeting the right areas.However, it is a pitty that all nueroscientists and modern philosophers of mind that I have come accross are ignorant of the body and its relationship with the world.A brain makes no mind without a body and the bodies existence is entirely determined by its interaction with the world.Good Luck!

Thundralight Says:

Oct 29, 2008 - I think as computers become more advanced we will understand a lot more of how our brain works as computers are mimicing our own brains as they are a projection of our own mind.

Oct 31, 2008 - Proof that smart people can be dumb too...Passionate...Educated...totaly clueless.

RadicalProbability Says:

Nov 1, 2008 - If you mean he is wrong to think you can divorce intelligence from the physical body and from the emotions and still get intelligence; I am right there. How much of our understanding and predictions are weighted and triggered by emotional content, by sensory memories of touch, smell, sound; in short all the things managed superbly by the complex and ancient brain beneath the neocortex?
