Good Places to Start The Cognition and Affect Project at the University of Birmingham School of Computer Science's Cognitive Science Research Centre. The main goal of this project is to understand the types of architectures that are capable of accounting for the whole range of human mental states and processes, including not only intelligent behaviour but also moods, emotions, desires, and the like. In particular we wish to explore the question whether the ability to have emotional states is an accident of animal evolution or an inevitable consequence of design requirements and constraints, for instance in resource-limited intelligent robots.
