The brain isn’t a computer, it’s a memory system. It isn’t random access memory; it’s sequential access memory.Jeff Hawkins
Our online response is determined by the expectations formed in our cortical hierarchy as dictated by incoming sensory data.Jeff Hawkins
The goal of memory is not to transmit the most accurate information over time, but to guide and optimize intelligent decision making by only holding on to valuable information.Jeff Hawkins
Brains are not about processing instruction sequences; brains are about memory and recall.Jeff Hawkins
It doesn’t matter how smart you are if you don't stop and think.Jeff Hawkins
Understanding something, in the sense that computers understand, is not the same as being conscious of it.Jeff Hawkins
All high-level thought is based on a sequence of patterns. You can’t have a thought which isn’t sequential.Jeff Hawkins
The brain’s ability to predict the future is fundamental to all perception and behavior.Jeff Hawkins
Our brain makes models of everything - our friends, our house, the city we live in.Jeff Hawkins
The minute you have a goal, something you want to achieve, you have a vision, a dream, you involve your prefrontal cortex. You pull information out of the rest of your brain to help you achieve that goal. The whole process is incredibly intelligent.Jeff Hawkins
Our brains are essentially prediction machines. They are continually making hypotheses about the world and testing them as a way of understanding what's going on.Jeff Hawkins
The essence of being human is the ability to plan and make decisions, to want one thing and not want something else.Jeff Hawkins
