American entrepreneur and neuroscientist; founder of Palm Computing (born 1957)
Jeff Hawkins, the renowned neuroscientist and Palm Computing founder, appears in Epstein's files primarily through a September 2017 email exchange where Epstein attempted to reach him through mutual contacts including Nobel laureate James Watson, seeking to discuss funding ideas and potential collaborations in neuroscience.
Hawkins appears in concentrated email correspondence from September 12-25, 2017, where Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff coordinated outreach through Jim Watson's office and Bain connections to arrange a conversation. The exchanges show Epstein expressing interest in discussing 'ideas that [Hawkins] might have or people that I can help fund,' positioning himself as a potential patron for neuroscience research. Hawkins appears cautious in his response, clarifying he was 'not looking at the investment side of things.' Earlier mentions from 2015 involve discussions between Joi Ito and Ed Boyden about Hawkins' company Numenta, and he's referenced in context of brain research and AI discussions. Many other appearances are in mass-distributed event invitations and newsletters discussing AI and neuroscience topics.
