Now he stands ready to revolutionize both neuroscience and computing in one stroke, with a new understanding of intelligence itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHawkins develops a powerful theory of how the human brain works, explaining why computers are not intelligent and how, based on this new theory, we can finally build intelligent machines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe brain is not a computer, but a memory system that stores experiences in a way that reflects the true structure of the world, remembering sequences of events and their nested relationships and making predictions based on those memories. It is this memory-prediction system that forms the basis of intelligence, perception, creativity, and even consciousness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an engaging style that will captivate audiences from the merely curious to the professional scientist, Hawkins shows how a clear understanding of how the brain works will make it possible for us to build intelligent machines, in silicon, that will exceed our human ability in surprising ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with acclaimed science writer Sandra Blakeslee, \u003ci\u003eOn Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e promises to completely transfigure the possibilities of the technology age.
