NuPIC list:

"Predictions in an HTM region can be for several time steps into the future" - according to the HTM White paper.

Question 1: Is there a NuPIC code that does prediction for the next n time steps?

Question 2: Is there NuPIC code that keeps activation history such that one could access the last 15 or 20 sets of active cells?

I'm interested in making NuPIC learn and recognize temporal sequences of data, and want to limit the amount of additional code I have to write to get this done. So, I'd rather use existing NuPIC functionality that works instead of writing algorithm that might duplicate something already in place. The sequences may be long (500 steps) or short (20 steps). The one-step predictions I've found in NuPIC examples need extra code to be written to 'remember' the predictions and how many predictions in-a-row have been correct, each additional successful prediction lending greater confidence to the data recognition.

Question 3: Is there code that does this already (successful prediction tracking), or will I have to write it?
