Abstract
The remarkable properties of some recent computer algorithms for neural networks seemed to promise a fresh approach to understanding the computational properties of the brain. Unfortunately most of these neural nets are unrealistic in important respects.
Study Snapshot
Key takeawayNeural networks offer a promising approach to understanding the computational properties of the brain, but their realistic properties are often limited by the limitations of their computational architectures.
