Fast and robust learning by reinforcement signals: explorations in the insect brain [PDF]
, 2009 We propose a model for pattern recognition in the insect brain. Departing from a well-known body of knowledge about the insect brain, we investigate which of the potentially present features may be useful to learn input patterns rapidly and in a stable ...
