Brain-like functional specialization emerges spontaneously in deep neural networks

2021-07-06

Abstract excerpt

The last quarter century of cognitive neuroscience has revealed numerous cortical regions in humans with distinct, often highly specialized functions, from recognizing faces to understanding language to thinking about what other people are thinking. But it remains unclear why the cortex exhibits this high degree of functional specialization in the first place. Here, we consider the case of face perception, using a...
