How HTM is supposed to deal with spatial invariance?

[Bitking]

Both the speed and fact that it has to be scanned by the cortex for fine details suggests that at least in part that this fast recognition it is done by the evolutionary older subcortical structures using the mostly lower resolution total retinal image.

Thoughts on multiple pathways for sensory input into the neocortex

It seems to be a thing for connectome/cortex researchers to ignore the processing that goes on in the “lower” brain structures. These were/are sufficient to run lizards and amphibians. There is absolutely no reason to think that they re not performing much of their original functions inside of the functioning brain. The lower brain receives a low-resolution image from the eye area “away” from the fovea and directs the eye to point at interesting areas to form identification of an object with a …
