For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses map-like structures to build a model of the world - not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought.

Ideas worth getting into your brain
Revisado: 01-19-22
If you’re interested in minds and brains at all, you’ll really like this book. If you’re philosophically inclined, you will as well, but if you’ve bent your brain on the philosophy of mind, you’ll find he misses the point on a few things. Also, there’s a kind of playful belligerence and certainty in Hawkins’ that can get a bit much. All in all, it’s very interesting, accessible, and enjoyable listen/read.

Haptics, or haptic sensing, refers to the ability to identify and perceive objects through touch. This is active touch, involving exploration of an object with the hand rather than the passive sensing of a vibration or force on the skin. The development of new technologies, including prosthetic hands and tactile surfaces for flat screen displays, depends on our knowledge of haptics. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Lynette Jones offers an accessible overview of haptics, or active touch sensing, and its applications.

Great overview. Narration is a bit lacking and so are helpful examples/anecdotes/story/meaningful elaboration

First, it’s worth it and I’m glad there’s an audiobook of this level of sophistication. Its well worth listening to it if you can tolerate the droning but clear voice. Her voice wasn’t onerous, but, god, it was like she was reading a dictionary. Interesting content fell flat.
The content is understandable and informative, but it could have been usefully longer by adding helpful examples and a little more story, which could have helped the author break up the monotony and the narrator add some emphasis and emotion. The hunger for the new information was the only thing that drove me through. If I didn’t need the info for a product design, I’d probably have quit. Or read the book. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to read.
That said. It was worth it. The book covered very new topics that will get you into the topic fast.
