2017 Year in Review | Numenta News – December 2017
As we wrap up 2017, we’re pleased to share the completion of Jeff Hawkins’ MIT, Cold Spring Harbor Labs, and Boston University speaking tours, where he presented our latest research. We also look back at the year with a Numenta 2017 Year in Review video and reflect on the progress we’ve made in our brain theory, as well as share predictions for Numenta in 2018.
Brain Science Podcast with Jeff | Numenta News – November 2017
We’re happy to announce a new paper on the HTM Spatial Pooler, as well as a new episode of the Brain Science podcast featuring Jeff Hawkins. The paper shows how the spatial pooler supports sequence learning and memory, while the podcast includes an update from Jeff about our research since the debut of On Intelligence.
HTM Meetup, New Columns Paper | Numenta News – October 2017
We’re excited to share that our first paper on sensorimotor inference has been accepted and published in the journal, Frontiers in Neural Circuits. Now that it has been published, we plan to present our findings at the HTM Meetup in November and in several neuroscience labs in the months to come.
Numenta Newsletter September 2017
As we say goodbye to summer and hello to fall, we find ourselves quite busy, and I’m happy to share several updates with you. First, we recently published a new manuscript to bioRxiv, titled “Untangling Sequences: Behavior vs. External Causes,” which looks at how the same neural mechanism can process two different types of sequences: sequences where sensory inputs change due to external factors, and sequences where inputs change due to our own behavior (sensorimotor sequences).
Numenta Newsletter July 2017
I’m happy to share two exciting announcements with you this month. First, we recently completed our initial paper on sensorimotor integration, “Why Does the Neocortex Have Layers and Columns, A Theory of Learning the 3D Structure of the World.” This paper articulates a major insight that Jeff had last spring when he uncovered a missing ingredient about how the brain works.
Numenta Newsletter June 2017
I’m pleased to announce that we published two new papers this month. The first is an article that our co-founder Jeff Hawkins was invited to write for an IEEE Spectrum Special Report titled “Can we Copy the Brain?” The report, which focuses on worldwide efforts to understand the brain and use that knowledge to enable the next generation of computing, contains a number of articles by industry experts.
