ANNs can match neural activity.
But without biological constraints, they achieve it via the wrong mechanisms.
In our new V1 model, biologically constrained training achieves both.
Full story from our team leader, @AntonSArkhipov.

Second day of the Allen Institute Modeling Software Workshop.
We are discussing how to build, stimulate, and share models of brain circuits at multiple levels of resolution.
Enjoying the nice view, too. 😊
