Abstract
Within cognitive models, desires are often considered as functional concepts that play a role in efficient focusing of behaviour. In practice a desire often goes hand in hand with having certain feelings. In this paper by adopting neurological theories a model is introduced incorporating both cognitive and affective aspects in the dynamics of desiring and feeling. Example simulations are presented, and both a mathematical and logical analysis is included.
