this article makes me sad ... a neural network can be also a network of biological neurons, the author means artificial neural network https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_network https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_network the Wikipedia article even goes into the differences, so why did we need a study for that? A study urges caution comparing Jellyfish to Jelley ... tasters found they are not the same (even though I hear that fried jellyfish taste nice...) study urges caution comparing the model to the real thing, as the model has some generalizations the real thing does not ...

the motivation is also in the article, because the original research that suggested similarities in activity only achieved this by doing it under conditions that are implausible in biological systems, therefore that original research likely was misleading.

  my point was that the architecture and models are so fairly different that at least the title is trivial. Nobody even the original research claimed that. the suggested research and the paper in question deal with grid cells and how they emerge ... Still artificial neural networks are summations over functions ... vastly different from our brain neural network. so yes caution is advised, yet that point and the title is so obvious that we don't need a paper for it. my assumption, the author hides the rather technical contribution of the paper behind a tautology to get some attention. seemed to have worked on hackernews as it's on the front page.

The brain is not involved in a whole lot of behaviors though. Cells organize themselves to an extent. Cuts heal without us focusing conscious thought on them. The brain is a hard drive but the body is the whole computer. Science is proving physical causation. Not just writing down what we want to be true.

  Emergent pheneomena both perhaps?
