arXiv:2607. 18574v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Direct feedback alignment (DFA) trains hidden layers with fixed random projections of the output error, avoiding the transposed-weight backward pass of backpropagation (BP).
arXiv:2606. 11123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Backpropagation (BP) is widely viewed as biologically implausible, in part because it requires feedback weights to be the transpose of forward weights for error propagation.
arXiv:2604. 09229v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: von Economo neurons (VENs) are large bipolar projection neurons found exclusively in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and frontal insula of species with complex social cognition, including humans, great apes, cetaceans, and elephants.
arXiv:2606. 02939v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Interpretable brain-computer interface classifiers that generalize across subjects without calibration remain an open challenge.
arXiv:2607. 12526v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Interpreting a neural network requires understanding what its internal features extract from a particular input.
arXiv:2606. 01293v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate segmentation of fetal brain tissues in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is critical for early diagnosis of congenital abnormalities and improving prenatal care.
