Despite all the achievements of neurobiology, we have made little progress in solving its main question: what is the biological nature of intelligence? The author offers an answer based on a sensational scientific discovery. In the book, he talks about why neurons in the cerebral cortex have formed into strange communities called 'cortical columns'. There are one hundred and fifty thousand of them in the neocortex. Jeff Hawkins and his team have established that each column making up the cerebral cortex creates its own model of the world. As a result, not one model is formed, but thousands, and our perception is the collective decision of the cortical columns, made by them through voting. The authors of the idea called the theory 'thousand brains' offer a new perspective on brain activity. They claim that it is not artificial neural networks, but the laws of operation of the neocortex discovered by them that will form the basis for the development of artificial intelligence in the future. 'What is described here is so exciting, so thrilling, that it will turn your mind into a swirling whirlpool of provocative ideas.' - Richard Dawkins. One of Bill Gates' top five favorite books of 2021.
