1000 brains. A new theory of intelligence
19.99 €
Despite all the achievements of neurobiology, we have made little progress in solving its main question: what is the biological nature of intelligence? The author offers an answer based on a sensational scientific discovery. In the book, he talks about why the neurons of the cerebral cortex are united in strange communities called "cortical columns". There are one hundred and fifty thousand of them in the neocortex. Jeff Hawkins and his team found that each column that makes up the cortex creates its own model of the world. In the end, not one model is formed, but thousands, and our perception is a collective decision of cortical columns, made by them by voting. The authors of the idea called the "thousand brains" theory a new view of brain activity. They claim that not artificial neural networks, but the laws of neocortex operation discovered by them will form the basis for the development of artificial intelligence in the future.
