POPSGet to Know… Screamin’ Jay Hawkins! Before Alice Cooper, Twisted Sister, Marilyn Manson, etc., it was Screamin’ Jay who laid the foundation for Rock ‘n’ Roll’s theatre of the macabre as early as 1954. He also was an early example of the sort of alpha hedonism we might now associate with Motley Crue. While it would be an overstatement to credit him with the birth of Metal, his relationships with dark theatrical presentation, moral panic, powerhouse vocal styles, and women set the stage for myriad shock rockers to follow. Song titles include “Alligator Wine,” “Frenzy,” “Feast of the Mau Mau,” “Constipation Blues,” and one other song I’ll tell you about in a sec.

POPSTedTalks: Brain Science About to Fundamentally Change Computing (Jeff Hawkins, 2003) To date, there hasn't been an overarching theory of how the human brain really works, Jeff Hawkins argues in this compelling talk. That's because we still haven't defined intelligence accurately. But one thing's for sure, he says: The brain isn't like a powerful computer processor. It's more like a memory system that records everything we experience and helps us predict, intelligently, what will happen next. Bringing this new brain science to computer devices will enable powerful new applications -- and it will happen sooner than you think.

POPSHuman Brain in Silicon - the Beginning "On Intelligence" models the neocortex (the especially human layer) as a remarkably adaptable hierarchy that learns patterns of increasing sophistication using the thalamus as a sequencing clock in a manner reminiscent of computer hardware. The Numenta model is called HTM - Hierarchical Temporal Memory. Free software and tools are available for hacker experimentation.
