Conflictual cues and unexpected changes in human real-case scenarios may be detrimental to the execution of tasks by artificial agents, thus affecting their performance. Meta-learning applied to reinforcement learning may enhance the design of control algorithms, where an outer learning system progressively adjusts the operation of an inner learning system, leading to practical benefits for the learning schema. Here, we developed a brain-inspired meta-learning framework for inhibition cognitive control that i) exploits the meta-learning principles in the neuromodulation theory proposed by Doya, ii) relies on a well-established neural architecture that contains distributed learning systems in the human brain, and iii) proposes optimization rules of meta-learning hyperparameters that mimic the dynamics of the major neurotransmitters in the brain. We tested an artificial agent in inhibiting the action command in two well …
