Before revision:  In this paper we present a salience-affected neural network (SANN) model which, at the same time as local network processing of task-specific information, includes non-local salience (significance) effects responding to an input salience signal.
After revision:  In this paper we present a bio-inspired ANN architecture which we call a Salience-Affected Neural Network (SANN) model which, at the same time as local network processing of task-specific information, includes non-local salience (significance) effects responding to an input salience signal.
