This blog post was adapted into an article for a16z’s Future. It’s been 60 years since Hubel and Wiesel first started unlocking the mysteries of the visual system. Proceeding one neuron at a time, they discovered the fundamental building blocks of vision, the simple and complex cells. Yet for a long time, neurons in high-level visual cortex were something of a mystery. What kinds of neural computations support complex, flexible behaviour? When I defended my thesis in 2014, I confidently stated that we did not know how to build computers that could see like humans do. Yet only a few months…
