Create a Heirarchical Temporal Memory Platform

This one speaks best for itself:

"Numenta was formed to develop and promote a technology called Hierarchical Temporal Memory, or HTM. We are confident that the principles underlying HTM are the same principles that govern much of the operation of the human neocortex; thus, HTM enables the creation of machines that have some of the capabilities of the human brain. We see HTM as a fundamental new computing methodology able to solve longstanding problems in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Be sure to read the white paper on our web site that describes the basics of HTM and what it can do.

We believe that the potential applications for HTM are broad and far-reaching; yet we know that our small company can only work on a piece of this application potential. Consequently, our goal is to create an industry built on HTM, opening up the platform to the world of creative developers. To this end, we have created a set of software tools that allows anyone to experiment with HTM, to apply HTMs to different problems, and to extend the tools. We call this set of tools the Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing or NuPIC, and we have made it available for anyone to download under license."
