Why Can´t a Computer be more Like a Brain?

This paper discusses a theory of the neocortical algorithm called the hierarchical temporal memory (HTM). Hierarchical temporal memories are built around a hierarchy of nodes. The hierarchy and how it works are the most important features of HTM theory. In an HTM, knowledge is distributed across many nodes up and down the hierarchy. As an HTM is trained, the low-level nodes learn first. Representations in high-level nodes then share what was previously learned in low-level nodes
