In Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning, rewards typically come seconds after reward-triggering actions, creating an explanatory conundrum known as the distal reward problem or the credit assignment problem. How does the brain know what firing patterns of what neurons are responsible for the reward if (1) the firing patterns are no longer there when the reward arrives and (2) most neurons and synapses are active during the waiting period to the reward? A model network and computer simulation of cortical spiking neurons with spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) modulated by dopamine (DA) is disclosed to answer this question. STDP is triggered by nearly-coincident firing patterns of a presynaptic neuron and a postsynaptic neuron on a millisecond time scale, with slow kinetics of subsequent synaptic plasticity being sensitive to changes in the extracellular dopamine DA concentration during the critical period of a few seconds after the nearly-coincident firing patterns. Random neuronal firings during the waiting period leading to the reward do not affect STDP, and hence make the neural network insensitive to this ongoing random firing activity. The importance of precise firing patterns in brain dynamics and the use of a global diffusive reinforcement signal in the form of extracellular dopamine DA can selectively influence the right synapses at the right time.

An active implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker, defibrillator and / or cardiovertor having an AAI and / or an AAI / DDD operating mode. This device detects atrial and ventricular events and stimulates the atrium, and calculates an atrial escape interval (AEI). The device defines a critical period preceding or following the end of the AEI and determines, in the event of detection of a ventricular extrasystole (VES), if the moment of occurrence of the VES is in the critical period. The device then recognizes a risk of inappropriate operation and / or false diagnosis related to the temporal proximity of the VES and end of the AEI. In such a case, the device modifies an operating parameter so as to eliminate this risk, for example, by resetting the counting of AEI (AEI*) on detection of the VES. The device can also inhibit a switching of AAI mode to a DDD mode in the event of risk of false diagnosis of atrio-ventricular block.

Described embodiments improve the performance of a computer network via selectively forwarding packets to bypass quality of service (QoS) processing, avoiding processing delays during critical periods of high demand, increasing throughput and efficiency may be increased by sacrificing a small amount of QoS accuracy. QoS processing may be applied to a subset of packets of a flow or connection, referred to herein as “lazy” processing or lazy byte batching. Packets that bypass QoS processing may be immediately forwarded with the same QoS settings as packets of the flow for which QoS processing is applied, resulting in tremendous overhead savings with only minimal decline in accuracy. In case of backlog, packets may be collected together into an aggregated or ‘uber’ packet, with QoS processing applied based on a virtual size of the aggregated packet.
