In 'A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence,' Jeff Hawkins, a pioneering figure in neuroscience and computing, presents a revolutionary hypothesis on how the brain works. Moving beyond traditional models, Hawkins proposes that the neocortex operates as a predictive system, building thousands of concurrent models of the world. This groundbreaking theory offers profound insights into the nature of intelligence, learning, and consciousness, suggesting a path towards creating truly intelligent machines. It challenges conventional understanding and invites readers to reconsider the very essence of thought and perception.
