In the 1970s, mathematical proof that single neurons couldn’t perform the operation called exclusive OR (XOR) deflated neural net research. Now scientists are finding that the computational power of individual neurons may far exceed what was once imagined. https://quantamagazine.org/neural-dendrites-reveal-their-computational-power-20200114/
