a simpler model and that the brain is complex, so it is not exactly clear why simpler models would be preferred

We would like to thank all reviewers for their comments and helpful feedback. Simplicity was meant to quantify this. We agree with both of those points. Figure 1 - these steps were the most minimal configuration that produced the best model as determined by our scores. Training for more recurrent steps is possible, but at least on our current set of scores, we see no improvement.
