Abstract

Emotion is a very popular but not well-known phenomenon of animals. Human emotion/feeling is more complex including the emotion features and the intelligent features. Though there are many researches on emotion/feeling, its computational role on self-maintenance is not known well. But it must be important because most of animals look to have similar emotion and there must be a reason for its similarity. Therefore, in this paper, we discuss on a possible component of emotion system, compare their computational model, and propose a possible hypothesis that the emotion is a system of value calculation for a decision making. For a discussion, we show a possible computational model of feeling system in brain.
