Evolving an emotion-based neural control architecture

Abstract

This work addresses a central problem in evolvable systems - evolution of a neural based emotion integrated learning phenotype from an initial genotype. It describes morphogenesis of a cognitive system based on a neural network, starting from a single genotype having a modulon control structure. It further presents an axon growing mechanism as second step of neural evolution. The neural architecture presented here has the ability to evolve to an emotion integrated neural leaning architecture.
