Mental State Transition Network which consists of mental states connected to each other is a basic concept of approximating to human psychological and mental responses. It can represent transition from an emotional state to other one with stimulus by calculating Emotion Generating Calculations method. A computer agent can transit a mental state in MSTN based on analysis of emotion by EGC method.
