The problem of neuron output

[MHloulis]

According to the definition of neuron, A neuron is an individual computing unit inside a DNN that applies an activation function on its inputs and passes the result to other connected neurons. I get a ndarray called feature map in experiment. Is the feature map the output of neuron or np.mean(feature map).
Thank you for your reply

Hi @MHloulis, thanks for the question.
In general, I think the definition of a neuron can be diverse, and sometimes ambiguous (it is an analogy anyway).
I suggest taking the mean of the feature map for "neurons" in convolution layers.
