1. "Emotion (a subtopic of Cognitive Science)", ( AI Topics).
   • A good source, with many links, on computational theories of emotion.

2. From MITECS:
   1. Oatley, Keith (2003), "Emotions".

   2. Brothers, Leslie (2003), "Emotion and the Human Brain"

   3. LeDoux, Joseph; & Rogan, Michael (2003), "Emotion and the Animal Brain"
      • Despite its title, I found this article to be much more useful and relevant than the one on the human brain.
