Understanding how the visual cortex of the human brain really works is still an open problem for science today. A better understanding of natural intelligence could also benefit object-recognition algorithms based on convolutional neural networks. In this paper we demonstrate the asset of using a shallow residual neural network for this task. The benefit of this approach is that earlier stages of the network can be accurately trained, which allows us to add more layers at the earlier stage. With this additional layer the prediction of the visual brain activity improves from 10.4% (block 1) to 15.53% (last fully connected layer). By training the network for more than 10 epochs this improvement can become even larger.
