the brain as a whole doesn't work the same way as ANNs, but the visual cortex in particular is extremely similar to a convnet. We even know which layers are responsible for which features, on a coarse scale: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089662730700774X https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S089662730... the visual cortex uses local receptive fields to organize features in a hierarchical manner, exactly like a convnet.
