How deep is the brain? The shallow brain hypothesis
Summary: The shallow brain hypothesis challenges the dominance of cortico-centric, hierarchical architectures in deep learning and predictive coding networks. It proposes that hierarchical cortical processing integrates with a massively parallel process involving substantial contributions from subcortical areas. This shallow architecture leverages the computational capacity of cortical microcircuits and thalamo-cortical loops, offering critical benefits over deep hierarchical structures and a more accurate depiction of mammalian brain function.
