Nature has equipped the pigeons an on-board computer absolutely perfect. Instinctively, they can navigate in space without the need of visual landmarks. But the instinct of the pigeon is not unbeatable for science. Continue reading →

NuPIC is based on a new architecture called hierarchical temporal memory (Hierarchical Temporal Memory, or HTM). Jeff Hawkins explained the biological basis of HTM in his book “On Intelligence”, published in 2004. Briefly, HTM technology establishes models of the world in a hierarchical architecture using spatio-temporal memory, similar to how information is learned and stored in the neocortex.
