This paper suggests a new engine to be used to develop cognitive nodes in cognitive radio networks. Instead of the traditional cognitive cycle, the suggested engine could be designed based on an emotional cycle that is inspired by the emotional system that reacts to the received stimulus and learns from the reaction. The engine is called ELIE that stands for Emotional Learning Inspired Engine. This paper presents the structure of ELIE and explains how it can be implemented on the basis of generic policy architecture. This paper also discusses the possible applications of the suggested engine.
