We asked (a) if having a 1/n neural code make neural networks more robust, and (b) how does the neural code

We thank the reviewers for their insightful comments and suggestions. As pointed out by R1,R2 & R3, our experiments were only run on MNIST. We would like to draw the attention of R5 to this particular case. " We apologize for the confusion. To clarify, the whitening employed in section 4.2 is used to investigate the BN was only used for the shallow neural networks in section 4.1 as we found that " According to the theory developed by Stringer et al., having
