[Neuropostdocs] Jeff Hawkins visit

[Samuel Beshers]

Hi all,
Jeff Hawkins is visiting and giving a talk on November 12.  He's an 
interesting guy:  started
grad school to learn how brains work, got frustrated, invented the Palm 
Pilot (20 years ahead
of the I-phone) and made a billion dollars.  He's written a book called 
On Intelligence which
I recommend and he's still supporting research and working on how brains 
work.

As you can see below, there's room for 2 of you to join a breakfast 
meeting.  Please let
me know if you're REALLY interested.

Sam
