Abstract
A method and apparatus for constructing a neuroscience-inspired artificial neural network (NIDA) or a dynamic adaptive neural network array (DANNA) or combinations of substructures thereof comprises one of constructing a substructure of an artificial neural network for performing a subtask of the task of the artificial neural network or extracting a useful substructure based on one of activity, causality path, behavior and inputs and outputs. The method includes identifying useful substructures in artificial neural networks that may be either successful at performing a subtask or unsuccessful at performing a subtask. Successful substructures may be implanted in an artificial neural network and unsuccessful substructures may be extracted from the artificial neural network for performing the task. The method and apparatus supports constructing, using and reusing components and structures of a neuroscience-inspired artificial neural network dynamic architecture in software and a dynamic adaptive neural network array.
