	Jeff Hawkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jeff Hawkins (born June 1, 1957 in Long Island, New York) is the founder of Palm Computing (where he invented the PalmPilot) and Handspring (where he invented the Treo).
		As a result of the formation of Hawkins' new company, Numenta, the Institute was moved to the University of California, Berkeley on 1 July, 2005, renamed the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, and is now administered through the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute.
		Jeff Hawkins, together with Donna Dubinsky and Dileep George recently founded Numenta to further develop the pattern recognition software.

	Jeff Hawkins on entrepreneurship
		Jeff became an entrepreneur out of desperation because he could not accomplish the things he wanted to accomplish with his current employer or an existing major player.
		Jeff pitched his idea for a consumer palmtop device to executives at Tandy while also pitching the idea to venture capitalists and was able to play both sides against each other while making his decision.
		Jeff is now working on new types of computer memory by studying the neocortex portion of the brain.

	On Intelligence (ISBN 0805074562): Very Well Said
		Jeff Hawkins is "crazy about brains." In this readable book, the electronic engineer combines his training as a computer designer and his self-education into the seat of human intelligence and posits how he believes we can make machine intelligence.
		Hawkins himself recognizes in the last chapter that this is not an academic paper, but an effort to make the concepts of the brain and their possible application to future artificial intelligence systems understandable to the laymen.
		Jeff Hawkins claims that AI applications haven't lived up to their hype because they focus on machine logic, connectivity and processing power instead of understanding and replicating the decision-making capabilities of the human brain.

		Jeff: I think one of the myths associated with open source is the notion of "free." We often describe it as "free as in speech, not as in beer." Open source gives freedoms.
		Jeff: One of the reasons why I see educational institutions, and not just European governments but governments around the world, getting so excited about Linux is because for the first time in a long time they have choice, they have the option of doing something different.
		Jeff: I think if you look at the size of the sales staff and the support infrastructure SUSE has had in North America, it's no surprise that Red Hat has a dominant position.

	A ThinkHammer Blog: Thinking Ahead – Jeff Hawkins’ “On Intelligence”
		Jeff Hawkins wants to know how the brain works and he has spent twenty years of his life doing the research.
		Hawkins explains that his theory proposes that the human brain is a pattern recognition machine that breaks complicated topics into smaller chunks of time related events and then compares it to known experiences.
		Hawkins explains that the human computer instantly recognizes the significant difference between a person standing at the front door with a wrapped birthday gift and another with a crowbar, and that no computer built would even have much of a chance of figuring out that the crowbar was not part of the person.

	Too Intelligent? A Book Review of Jeff Hawkins’ "On Intelligence": Corante > Brain Waves >
		Hawkins’ concludes the book up with a brief overview of how his theoretical framework could be applied to a range of intelligent machines in the near future.
		Thankfully, Hawkins’ future is not deluded with fantastic visions of Schwarzenegger-esque Terminators; instead, it intelligently concentrates on the numerous pragmatic applications (e.g., smart cars or machines that think about theoretical physics) that are realizable in the next 10 or so years.
		Hawkins mixes in well-timed (auto)biographical material (the book is co-written by science writer Sandra Blakeslee) to make it readable by readers with a wide range of interests and backgrounds.

	10.06.2005 - Jeff Hawkins, computing pioneer, endows new center to develop model of brain
		Hawkins attended the graduate program in biophysics at UC Berkeley nearly 20 years ago to pursue his interest in neuroscience.
		As far as Hawkins is concerned, understanding of the neocortex is already at a level where it's possible to create software that is inspired by the algorithms of the brain, and therefore train computers to do things we would label as intelligent.
		Hawkins' endowment is designed to provide graduate student support and fund seminars and conferences, such as the day-long inaugural symposium on Oct. 7 that will feature neuroscientists from around the world.

	The Next Small Thing
		Hawkins and his 28 colleagues at Palm Computing spent only $3 million to develop a working model of the device that would launch an entire industry.
		But that is how long Jeff Hawkins, the founder of Palm Computing and the father of the Pilot, has been obsessed with the big intellectual challenge at the heart of this tiny device.
		Hawkins, like so many of his rivals, had been trying to write code that was smart enough to enable PDAs to recognize all kinds of different handwriting styles.

		Hawkins is inspired by Vernon Mountcastle's suggestion that all regions of the neocortex are essentially doing the same thing.
		Hawkins explains the layered structure of the cortex and the columns which cross it vertically.
		Hawkins goes on to consider the prospects for intelligent machines (I suppose we can't refer to them as artificial intelligence); in fact, he offers a rallying cry to young engineers: this is the moment to start work if you want to get in on the next big wave!

		One of his other brothers is currently sailing around the world with his wife, and Hawkins still has boating in his blood, taking his family sailing on weekends.
		Hawkins did all this study at Berkeley from 1986 to 1987, where he wrote his Ph.D. thesis proposal, and also wrote a pattern classifier program based on his theories of autoassociative memories.

	Emerging Tech: Jeff Hawkins Reinvents Artificial Intelligence
		Hawkins began his career at Intel, in 1979, and while there he made an unsuccessful bid to convince then-Chairman Gordon Moore to launch a research group on neurology and artificial intelligence.
		Still, Hawkins didn't let that initial setback diminish his enthusiasm, and, in fact, he's spent much of the past quarter century studying the physiology, philosophy and psychology of the brain, even entering a Ph.D. program in biophysics at the University of California at Berkeley, in 1986.
		In 2002, Hawkins founded the Redwood Neuroscience Institute (now known as the Redwood Center for Theoretic Neuroscience at the University of California at Berkeley) as a means to develop a rigorous theory of how the human neocortex works.
