A new study reveals that the perceived superiority of untrained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) over trained ones in mimicking early visual cortex (V1) characteristics is largely an artifact of evaluation resolution. Researchers found that the gap between trained and untrained networks narrowed significantly as image resolution increased, suggesting that previous comparisons may have been misleading. The findings indicate that learning processes do have a discernible impact, though not always in the areas previously assumed for V1 comparisons. AI
