A key point in this paper is that the CNN does not need to be trained to identify rotation or scaling permutations; rather it is the log-polar pre-processing step that converts the image into a format that allows the CNN to handle rotation and scaling permutations.

Sensory predictions by the brain in all modalities take place as a result of bottom-up and top-down connections both in the neocortex and between the neocortex and the thalamus.

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.
