Multimodal Neuron from OpenAI (2021, Gabriel Goh)
In 2005, a letter published in Nature described human neurons responding to specific people, such as Jennifer Aniston or Halle Berry. The exciting thing was that they did so regardless of whether they were shown photographs, drawings, or even images of the person’s name. The neurons were multimodal. You are looking at the far end of the transformation from metric, visual shapes to conceptual information.
