00:00:28 1 Outline
00:01:31 2 A personal history
00:03:15 3 The theory
00:06:09 4 Predictions of the theory of the memory-prediction framework
00:06:47 4.1 Enhanced neural activity in anticipation of a sensory event
00:07:25 4.2 Spatially specific prediction
00:08:22 4.3 Prediction should stop propagating in the cortical column at layers 2 and 3
00:08:57 4.4 "Name cells" at layers 2 and 3 should preferentially connect to layer 6 cells of cortex
00:09:48 4.5 "Name cells" should remain ON during a learned sequence
00:10:52 4.6 "Exception cells" should remain OFF during a learned sequence
00:11:38 4.7 "Exception cells" should propagate unanticipated events
00:12:11 4.8 "Aha! cells" should trigger predictive activity
00:12:39 4.9 Pyramidal cells should detect coincidences of synaptic activity on thin dendrites
00:13:16 4.10 Learned representations move down the cortical hierarchy, with training
00:13:44 4.11 "Name cells" exist in all regions of cortex

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
On Intelligence: How a New Understanding of the Brain will Lead to the Creation of Truly Intelligent Machines is a 2004 book by Palm Pilot-inventor Jeff Hawkins with New York Times science writer Sandra Blakeslee. The book explains Hawkins' memory-prediction framework theory of the brain and describes some of its consequences.
