Hi Marek,

Matt started a thread on the topic of reconstruction a few days ago so we
can discuss relevant algorithm details there:

http://lists.numenta.org/pipermail/nupic_lists.numenta.org/2014-February/003084.html

Definitely put this project on the list if you want to mentor it!

Cheers,

--Subutai
