Understanding how the brain works is considered one of humanity’s greatest challenges.
Jeff Hawkins thinks that the reality we perceive is a kind of simulation, a hallucination, a confabulation. He thinks that our brains are a model reality based on thousands of information streams originating from the sensors in our body.
Critically - Hawkins doesn’t think there is just one model but rather; thousands.
Jeff has just released his new book, A thousand brains: a new theory of intelligence.
It’s an inspiring and well-written book and I hope after watching this show; you will be inspired to read it too.Understanding how the brain works is considered one of humanity’s greatest challenges.
