Ever read the book "On Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins and if so, what are you thoughts on it? I've read that and ray kurzweil's books and On Intelligence was my favorite and got me super interested in AI but I haven't done much with it so I'm curious what someone who has a PhD in neuroscience thinks of it.
Also “How to Build a Brain” by Chris Eliasmith. Interesting theories on how neurons represent functions and then build into a greater whole. I’m not a neuroscientist but my intuition says he might be getting closer to a solid mid-level (above the level of ion channels) understanding of brain function.
I haven't, though it's been on my list for a while.
I'm collaborating with a woman who has also been working with him to model some of our data with NENGO, so I should really get around to that sooner rather than later.
