>>A red flag is the lack of any scientific papers available from the Numenta web site.
Not really. It's a private company, the only type of publications you'll get from them are patents. Same problem with all the rest, by the way, the Cyc project and Artifical Development are also very, very quiet.
These seems to be the time for corporations to give it a try, not just researchers, and in a corporation if it's not a patent it is a trade secret:)
There are actually quite a few projects now taking similar, cortex-centric approaches to AI hard problems. Are we up to something here? The guys responsible of these projects are not wacko types at all, but established entrepreneurs and/or well-known researchers:
CCortex "A 20-billion neuron simulation of the Human Cortex and peripheral systems." Cyc a knowledge base with vast collection of facts about the real world and logical reasoning ability. Financed by Paul Allen AI related investment company,Vulcan. Numenta is developing a new type of computer memory system modeled after the human neocortex.
They seem to we well financed, and knowledgeable. Are we witnessing the start of something big here?
