Jeff Hawkins – creator of the Palm Pilot – tells how his passion for neuroscience resulted in building brains in software and hardware. This creation of software that uses brain-like techniques can learn from streaming big data, predict the future and detect anomalies. The engine that drives it is now an open source project called NuPIC that you can use to add brain science to your own projects. This type of algorithms can be used at a variety of data from financial data to data from robotics. It can build fast and large models that can update in real-time. According to Jeff we are just at the beginning of extremely smart machines that operate likes our brain does.
