• Deep Neural networks are highly specialized and good in a narrow domain.

  • CNNs process images in a sequential manner like the brain does (from low resolution to full picture)

  • But they do not include a lot of biological details.

  • DNNs focus on solving the task the best rather than mimicking neural data

  • Models should be as simple as possible, but not simpler

  • the mechanisms in a DNN are simple, but the parameter count is complex interesting to see how biological details would change the models (SNNs)

  • performance of CNNs is positively linked to the ability to predict neural data

    • it is likely that the brain follows multiple objectives at once. This might be difficult to mimic
  • DNNs are highly vulnerable to manipulation

  • DNNs deterministic, brain stochastic

    • DNNs with stochastic sampling higher performance and better estimation of its own uncertainty
  • DNNs in computational neuroscience still in its infancy

  • spiking models are besser at explaining neural activity

  • LSTM units proposed for explaining cortical microcircuits

biological plausible

  • spatially restricted receptive fields
  • some kind of optimization technique (maybe something like stochastic gradient descent)

biological implausible:

  • parameter sharing

Fragen

wenn V1 striche erkennt, was passiert. wenn ein object richtig klein is? erkennt der V1 dann nicht das gesamte bild?
