The brain may be thought of as a many-body architecture with a spatio-temporal dynamics described by neuronal structures. The oscillatory nature of brain activity allows these structures (nodes) to be described as a set of coupled…
Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have structures that are loosely related to that of the primate visual cortex. Surprisingly, when these networks are trained for object classification, the activity of their early, intermediate, and…
