Is it possible that adversarially-trained DNNs are already more robust than the biological neural networks of primate visual cortex? Here is a short thread for our #ICML2022 paper arxiv.org/pdf/2206.11228…. 1/8 Biological neurons supporting visual recognition in the primate brain are thought to be robust. Using a novel technique, we discovered that neurons are in fact highly susceptible to nearly imperceptible adversarial perturbations. 🙈2/8
