The hierarchical timescale hypothesis: Functional and structural convergence of biological networks and artificial neural nets
Lee S, Nemenman I, Levchenko A. The hierarchical timescale hypothesis: Functional and structural convergence of biological networks and artificial neural nets. Cell Systems 2026, 17: 101507. PMID: 41713403, DOI: 10.1016/j.cels.2025.101507.Peer-Reviewed Reviews, Practice Guidelines, Standards, and Consensus StatementsThis study investigates the hierarchical timescale hypothesis, showing biological and artificial networks optimize signal processing by layering responses across progressively slower timescales to handle complex inputs.
