A research review on how human emotions arise, and whether real feelings could exist outside living things.
The question
How do human emotions arise, and could genuine feelings exist outside living organisms?
What I did
I brought neuroscience, psychology, consciousness studies, AI, robotics and ethics to bear on the same question, and set out the concepts, sources and competing explanations in one paper.
The paper
The full paper is in Arabic, as a PDF, with its sections, discussion and references.
Where it stands
A theoretical review in progress, not a peer-reviewed paper.
