1. A Thousand Brains: A New Theory Of Intelligence
This book introduces a groundbreaking theory of intelligence, proposing a novel understanding of how the brain works. It challenges traditional models by suggesting that the brain operates not through a single engine of reasoning but through a network of many tiny brains working in parallel. Each of these "brains" is a specialized unit responsible for understanding the world through a specific lens. The author, a renowned figure in the field of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, combines the latest scientific research with accessible explanations to explore how this theory could not only revolutionize our understanding of human intelligence but also pave the way for more advanced and empathetic artificial intelligence systems. Through this lens, the book delves into the implications for how we learn, how we make decisions, and how we perceive the world around us.
