Abstract
Neuromodulation is an important mechanism of information processing control in the brain. Implementation of this mechanism in Artificial Neural Nets (ANNs) will enable intelligent structures to control their own cognitive function. What follows is a description of a unit created for parallel synchronous neural networks. It was designed to include the neuromodulation in the network functionality. Experiments showed that the model’s behavior corresponds to the behavior of neurons in the brain.
