Jeff Hawkins on Minicolumns - September 23, 2020
Jeff Hawkins brainstorms some ideas on minicolumns, in a continuation of a recent concept he presented in Numenta’s July 27, 2020 research meeting. In the previous meeting, he hypothesized that minicolumns represent movement vectors. In this research meeting, Jeff suggests a new mechanism for calculating reference frame transformation that ties into his minicolumn hypothesis. He suggests that the movement vectors of the minicolumns’ upper layers are allocentric, while that of the lower layers are ego-centric.

Numenta is leading the new era of machine intelligence. Our deep experience in theoretical neuroscience research has led to tremendous discoveries on how the brain works. We have developed a cohesive theory, core software technology, and numerous software applications all based on principles of the neocortex. Our innovative work delivers breakthrough capabilities and demonstrates that a computing approach based on biological learning principles can do things that today’s programmed computers cannot do.
