Hierarchical temporal memory (HTM) is like a computer created brain. It helps computers learn and remember things - just like a human brain. It can recognize patterns, figure out things, and make decisions on its own. In other words, it can think like a human! HTM works by making "neurons" (tiny pieces of the computer brain) and connecting them together in different ways. Neurons are responsible for processing different pieces of information and "firing" (or sending) them to other neurons. In this way, HTM works like a brain - it takes in information, processes it, and makes changes to itself over time. This is how it learns new things!
