The author discusses the value and opportunities for predictive algorithms. He analyzes predictive modeling from a neuroscience perspective and from a computer science perspective. Examples of human beings that use predictive abilities are discussed and computational algorithm development and applications are considered. I found the concept valuable but I felt the main points were made early in the book. The remaining sections were repetitive.
I espied this book on a library shelf and thought it would be interesting, but treated it with a skeptical eye at the outset. I was surprised to find a thorough and robust discussion on the topic that never went off message or lost focus. The book was also an amalgam of several books I've read that orbit each other around the topic of brain science. It seems there aren't that many degrees of separation in this realm, which I enjoy - and I did enjoy the book.
Fascinating insight into the secret of success - not sure I will ever be fast enough!

I picked up this book on a whim. At work we are supposed to do some professional development. After watching mind numbing video tutorials, I figured I would go back to books to help me develop professionally, especially since I read a lot any way. Just have to change my reading criteria a bit. So I veered away from historical fiction and (at the moment) reading about a origami Star Wars children's book, I now learn about the 2 second advantage.
The book introduces with Wayne Gretzky, the master of the 2 second advantage in hockey. Even though he's not an elite athlete he make ups for it mentally. He's able to anticipate the development of a hockey game 2 seconds before everyone else. My mind kept going back to Qui-Gon Jinn (hey, I'm reading Star Wars books at the same time) who explained how a Jedi could see a little bit in the future ... he said this while grabbing Jar Jar Binks tongue.
There were moments where the book got my brain really thinking. being published in 2011, it's a little dated but still pretty solid read.… (plus d'informations)
