Deep learning is as close to being a "newtonian theory" of the brain as it gets -- deep learning abstracts away a lot of the complexity of neural systems (e.g., a simple artificial neuron vs a highly complex biological one) while maintaining a number of essential characteristics: massively parallel computation, error tolerance, graceful degradation, distributed representations, information is stored in slowly-changing synapses, and, most importantly: a simple, local, and powerful biologically-plausible-if-you-squint-hard-enough learning rule. The important question to ask is: is the deep…
