The Human Brain
A neuron
Has about
10
11
neurons each connected to
10
4
other neurons.
Each neuron has inputs which are called
dendrites
and one output which is called the
axon
.
The switching time is about
.
001
second.
It takes around
.
1
second for the brain to recognize an image, which implies about 100 inference steps.
So, the brain must do some parallel processing on highly distributed data.
ANNs are not identical to human neurons.
They are merely simplistic approximations.
