Why Does the Neocortex Have Layers and Columns - video demonstration

PLEASE NOTE: This video has been updated since its original posting. You can view the current version, which accompanies the peer-reviewed paper of the same name, at https://youtu.be/BvJJn9VS4rk
This video accompanies the paper titled “Why Does the Neocortex Have Layers and Columns? A Theory of Learning the 3D Structure of the World” by Jeff Hawkins, Subutai Ahmad, and Yuwei Cui. The preprint of the paper is available on bioRxiv: http://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/07/12/162263

It illustrates the inference mechanism described in the paper and introduces the theory of location information, showing how cortical columns can use location information to form robust predictive models of objects.

The video examines how a human recognizes objects just through touch by simulating a hand. Although the video uses touch, the same mechanism can be applied to all sensory modalities.
