Defining stuffs

I need to know of what is what, such as definitions, etc.


I was thinking what if emotions can be artificial intelligence. Oguz liked this statement, but I even do not understand what I meant, cuz I was not sure of the definition. The kind of artificial intelligence that I understand and Oguz thinks can be different.

Let's start with emotion.

What is emotion?
Emotion is not phenomenon, but a construct
Components of emotion: cognitive processes, subjective feelings, physiological arousal, behavioral reactions

Emotion is a concept involving three components , which would be Subjective experience, Expressions (audiovisual: face, gesture, posture, voice intonation, breathing noise), Biological arousal (ANS: heart rate, respiration frequency/intensity, perspiration, temperature, muscle tension, brain wave)

Affect of the emotion would be some more than emotions, including personality factors and moods

Mood is a long-term emotional state, typically global and very variable over the time, dominates the intensity of each short-term emotional states.















Different emotional expressions produce different changes in autonomic activity:
Anger: increased heart rate and skin temperature
Fear: increased heart rate, decreased skin temperature
Happiness: decreased heart rate, no change in skin temperature


Relative emotional cues are like this.
HR: anger, fear, sadness > happiness, surprise > disgust
HR Acceleration: anger > happiness
Temp: anger > happiness, sadness > fear surprise, disgust

There are several ways to capture the physiological information.

















The next is Artificial Intelligence.
It is kind of hard to define. But I will just say for me.
1. It should have its own opinion, and also know what it is doing.
2. It should have the tendency to grow or reproduce, and react to its environment, to enhance the chance of survival.
3. It should have a certain flow or fluctuation as an analog data, not a form as digitally 0, 1.
4. It should have randomness and flaw. It should never be the same every time, and should have a chance to fail, which makes it more precious when it is successful.
