Basically none. Numenta has yet to do anything that has impressed any researchers I know. Perhaps someday they will, but I am not counting on it.

NuPIC was released as free software, in part, because there has been a strong interest in the academic research community. I encourage you to check out the mailing list (http://lists.numenta.org/mailman/listinfo/nupic_lists.nument...) for some recent examples.

Generally, the most relevant academic community would be the NIPS community and I have not noticed any Numenta papers at NIPS, but please point me towards any I have missed if you are aware of any. I expect a lot of people have an opinion along these lines: http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=225476&cid=18... Don't get me wrong, I would love to see numenta produce something of value for the ML community, but it doesn't look good so far.

Have those researchers released any source code?

Yes, plenty. Releasing source code is quite common in the ML community.
