Thanks, nice summary of something I intuitively pondered but never expressed about this. I've had arguments with other engineers about this topic but could never garner more than "but the models don't match the biology!"

Thanks. I want to be clear here that I'm not disparaging work in rate-based artificial neural network models or deep learning. I just wanted to dispel the idea that the so-called 'large deep neural networks' that this article talks about are as powerful neuron-for-neuron as biological networks. They're not. But that's not to say they're not powerful. They're an interesting area of research and you can certainly do some interesting work with them.
