The connections between neuroscience findings and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are very strong, but literature that analyzes how neuroscience inspired AI, and viceversa, mainly takes a machine learning point of view. However, intelligent software agents modeled after the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture have many ties with neuroscience. Some are explicitly expressed, others are less evident and deserve to be better addressed and understood. In order to explore such ties and make their hidden potential exploitable, we introduce the BDI-inspired MEDiTATe conceptual framework encompassing theory of Mind, Emotions, Deep TAlk, and small Talk.
