Quantum Cognition and Neuroinformation Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A brain science lab that approaches the mechanisms of consciousness through quantum probability theory.
AboutAbout the lab
Taking on the mystery of consciousness with quantum mathematics.
The Quantum Cognition and Neuroinformation Science Lab applies quantum probability theory, a mathematical framework, to research in cognitive neuroscience.
The lab aims to accurately describe and predict, using mathematical models based on quantum probability theory, cognitive functions that were difficult to explain with classical probability theory.
Its goal is a fundamental understanding of how complex neural information comes together in consciousness as a single percept, such as a sensation, a memory, or self-awareness.
On the institute's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Quantum Cognitive Brain Science Team."
Key terms
- Quantum probability theory
- The way of thinking about probability used in quantum mechanics, extracted and used as a mathematical tool.
- Classical probability theory
- The conventional probability theory used for ordinary probability calculations, such as the outcome of a die roll.
- Cognitive function
- The workings by which the brain receives and processes information, such as seeing, hearing, remembering, and making judgments.
ResearchResearch themes
This lab applies mathematical models from quantum probability theory to research in cognitive neuroscience. It aims to understand the mechanism by which consciousness is generated: how complex neural information is bound together and integrated into a single percept in consciousness.
