ArXi:2605.22401v1 Announce Type: new Does the relationship between learning rules and brain alignment generalize across species? We extend our prior finding that untrained CNNs match backpropagation at human V1 by testing the same five learning rules against macaque electrophysiology. The rules are backpropagation (BP), feedback alignment (FA), predictive coding (PC), spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), and an untrained random-weights baseline.
