Analysis of neural computation might have application for deep learning

A new research article, THE THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF NEURAL COMPUTATION, examines the energy-information cycle of sensory processing in the brain. However, the work has relevance for artificial intelligence, especially deep learning. The cortical brain is an evolutionary marvel which interacts with the outside world via self-regulation, based on its resting or ground state. The resting state, which is disturbed during stimulus and sensory processing, is recovered by automatic operations. The brain's energy need multiplies in the complex brain of warm-blooded animals.
