In the 19th century, Spanish anatomists founded the theory of neurons. With the development of brain science, the biological characteristics of neurons and related electrical properties have been discovered. The advent of mathematical methods to simulate the actual human neural network in 1943 can be recognized as one of the notable landmarks. 63 years since then, deep neural networks were proposed and developed to simulate the structure of the human cerebral cortex. The emergence of deep learning has a great influence on the traditional artificial intelligence and enhanced the importance of brain-inspired intelligence in the whole field of artificial intelligence. This is a great dream into reality!
