Before revision: In this paper we introduce a novel Salience Affected Artificial Neural Network (SANN) that models the way neuromodulators such as dopamine and noradrenaline affect neural dynamics in the human brain by being distributed diffusely through neocortical regions . This allows one-time learning to take place through strengthening entire patterns of activation at one go.
After revision: In this paper we introduce a novel Salience Affected Artificial Neural Network (SANN) that models the way neuromodulators such as dopamine and noradrenaline affect neural dynamics in the human brain by being distributed diffusely through neocortical regions , allowing both salience signals to modulate cognition immediately, and one time learning to take place through strengthening entire patterns of activation at one go.
