Consider an extremely complicated feed-forward neural network training example but with no need of computational efficiency or limiting of processing time.

What is the maximum number of hidden neurons ***h*** that a hidden layer should possess to detect all unique features/ correlations between input data from the previous layer which has ***n*** nodes?

In other words if we wanted to create a neural network with a large number of neurons in a hidden layer, what is the maximum neuron count possible that helps the network train (give ***n*** neurons are in the previous layer)?
