A Thousand Brains (Basic Books)
Friday, 11 November 2022

This book sets out to consider how simple cells in the brain create intelligence. Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world—not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. Based on this theory, Hawkins answers important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.
