A startup's approach to advanced pattern recognition could trump rivals' in the hunt to capitalize on finding trends in large streams of data

Through his development of the Palm (<A rel="ticker" href="http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?symbol=PALM" linkindex="153">PALM</A>) Pilot and Treo smartphone, Jeff Hawkins helped change the way people access information computers. Now he may have come up with a way to alter how we comb through that data.

Hawkins' software startup <A href="http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?capId=40675695" linkindex="154">Numenta</A> is trying to replicate the thinking patterns of the human brain in an effort to recognize subtle patterns in immense streams of data. Researchers, of course, say such tools could lead to advances in data-rich fields from drug discovery to law enforcement.
