书籍简介：

From the inventor of the PalmPilot comes a new and compelling theory of intelligence, brain function, and the future of intelligent machines Jeff Hawkins, the man who created the PalmPilot, Treo smart phone, and other handheld devices, has reshaped our relationship to computers. Now he stands ready to revolutionize both neuroscience and computing in one stroke, with a new understanding of intelligence itself. Hawkins 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. The 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. In 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. Written with acclaimed science writer Sandra Blakeslee, On Intelligence promises to completely transfigure the possibilities of the technology age. It is a landmark book in its scope and clarity.

作者简介：

杰夫·霍金斯(Jeff Hawkins)，成功的计算机工程师和企业家，掌上型电脑PalmPilot、智能电话Treo等产品的发明人。他创建了两家大名鼎鼎的公司——Palm Computin和Handspring，成立了致力于对记忆和认知研究的“红杉”神经系统科学研究所，同时，也是Cold Spring Harbor实验室科学委员会的一名成员。

最后，霍金斯及其合伙人又宣布成立Numenta（源自拉丁语，意为“头脑”）公司，旨在把《人工智能的未来》一书中关于大脑的理论转化为实用技术。

书友短评：

@ Lucia 格局很大的一本书，当你觉得他很扯的时候，他竟然能给你在后面圆回来；当然也有确实很扯的地方，比如作者举的佐证说 “虽然大部分对dendrite的输入都是越远效果越小，但是我们现在有一些研究发现其实远地方的输入也起到一些更细微的调节作用” 实际上我去年学的神经科学里面这些研究仍然停留在“某些研究”层面，也没发现他们到底有什么用处；坐地铁的时候看完的，地铁也挺好，虽然要坐四五十分钟，但是给了我读书的时间（ @ 目送飞鸿 作者在大脑皮层工作机制分析的基础之上，认为智能的基础是记忆-预测，即在感官的基础上建立一个分层的记忆系统，这一系统构建一个分层的外部世界模型，并以此来预测未来。未来的智能系统应以此为原型来建立。读第6章时，不知道这是否只是一家之言，也很难读得进去。7、8两章好一些，但有些已经技术性过时了。 @ Freeman Brain at work作者推荐。讲述，智能是怎么回事。
