Abstract
Described is a system for proactive and reactive cognitive control using a neural module. The system calculates, for each hypothesis of a set of hypotheses, a probability that an event will occur. The neural module comprises a plurality of neurons and includes the PC module, a prefrontal cortex (PFC) module, an anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) module, a locus coeruleus (LC) module, and a basal forebrain (BF) module. The set of hypotheses are related to tasks to be performed by a plurality of groups, each group having a corresponding hypothesis. For each probability, the system calculates a conflict value across all hypotheses with the ACC module, compares each conflict value to a predetermined threshold using the BF and LC modules. A determination is made whether to directly output the calculated probability or perform an additional probability calculation and output an updated probability.
