Our neocortex has invented powerful technologies ... but the human behavior that controls these world-changing technologies is often dominated by the selfish and shortsighted old brain.

Introduction

Our brains' inner workings remain mysterious and elusive, despite the vast research effort and data diligently gathered by neuroscientists.

What if our failure to understand the brain is because we've been looking at the data in the wrong way?

An author, entrepreneur, engineer, and passionate neuroscience researcher, Jeff Hawkins presents his theory about the neocortex after decades of extensive research.

With a foreword written by renowned evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, A Thousand Brains reveals the astounding findings of Hawkins and his team.

Hawkins's theory gives a fresh perspective on the data acquired up to 2021 and offers hints about the direction of future development in neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
