A Review of Emotional Learning And It’s Utilization in Control Engineering

In mammalians, brain Limbic System is responsible for emotionalprocess. An important part of motor learning as well as attention isformed by the system. Brain Emotional Learning (BEL) process ofmammalians has been mathematically modeled. Based on the model, a controller architecture called Brain Emotional Learning BasedIntelligent Controller (BELBIC) has been developed. EmotionalLearning is a powerful methodology in real time control anddecision systems due to low computational complexity and fasttraining where the gradient based methods and evolutionaryalgorithms are hard to be applied because of their highcomputational complexity. In this paper, the emotional processesand the Limbic System will be reviewed. In addition, the utilizationof BELBIC model in variety of applications of control system will beexamined. The results of simulations demonstrate control systemsbased on BELBIC have good performances
