Emotion in Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life Research: Facing Problems

Psychology and cognitive neuroscience researches are increasingly showing how emotion plays a crucial role in cognitive processes. Gradually, this knowledge is being used in Artificial Intelligent and Artificial Life areas in simulation and cognitive processes modeling. However, theoretical aspects of emotion to be employed in computational systems projects are scarcely discussed and very few comparisons are made between projects. Besides, we can notice that there are many open questions emotion-based projects might face to field development. This paper intends to discuss these problems and propose tentative directions to solve them.
