Numenta

[bascule]

I've mentioned Palm Pilot creator Jeff Hawkins and his most excellent book On Intelligence several times before. While writing a book about a comprehensive theory of how the brain works that wins the critical acclaim of neurophysiologists is an astounding enough task by itself, Jeff has since founded a startup company, Numenta, dedicated to implementing his model of how the brain works, which he calls the Memory-Prediction Framework. The result is a computer program known as Hierarchical Temporal Memory. Wired recently wrote an article on Hawkins' startup, noting that it has no sales force: interested customers are already lined up at his doorstep.
