TL;DR: In today’s blog post we discuss Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA), how it might improve our understanding of the brain as well as recent efforts by Samy Bengio’s and Geoffrey Hinton’s group to systematically study representations in Deep Learning architectures. So let’s get started!
The brain processes sensory information in a distributed and hierarchical fashion. The visual cortex (the most studied object in neuroscience) for example…
