On Intelligence - Welcome
Description
Jeff Hawkins has founded three companies, Palm Computing, Handspring, and Numenta, and the non-profit Redwood Neuroscience Institute, a scientific research institute focused on understanding how the human neocortex works.
At Numenta he is developing technology derived from the brain model described in his book "On Intelligence". Numenta’s technology is a new type of memory architecture modeled after the mammalian cortex that can solve problems in pattern recognition and machine learning.
In addition to his positions at Numenta and Palm, Mr. Hawkins is a member of the scientific board of directors at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and he is on the advisory board of the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at University of California at Berkeley. Hawkins was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2003. He earned his B.S. in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1979.
