Summary	Identifying key nodes in networks, in terms of centrality measurement, is one of the popular research topics in network analysis. Various methods have been proposed with different interpretations of centrality. This paper proposes a novel connectionist method which measures node centrality for directed and weighted networks. The method employs a spreading activation mechanism in order to measure the influence of a given node on the others, within an information diffusion circumstance. The experimental results show that, compared with other popular centrality measurement methods, the proposed method performs the best for finding the most influential nodes.
