CNNs are a prime example of neuroscience influencing deep learning (LeCun, Bottou, Bengio, & Haffner, 1998). These neural networks are based on the seminal work done by Hubel and Wiesel (1962). They discovered that individual neuronal cells in the visual cortex responded only to the presence of visual features such as edges of certain orientations. From their experiments they deduced that the visual cortex contains a hierarchical ...
