• Abstract: Quantum measurement theory is applied to quantum-like modeling of coherent generation of perceptions and emotions and generally for emotional coloring of conscious experiences. In quantum theory, a system should be separated from an observer. The brain performs self-measurements. To model them, we split the brain into two subsystems, unconsciousness and consciousness. They correspond to a system and an observer. The states of perceptions and emotions are described through the tensor product decomposition of the unconscious state space; similarly, there are two classes of observables, for conscious experiencing of perceptions and emotions, respectively. Emotional coloring is coupled to quantum contextuality: emotional observables determine contexts. Such contextualization reduces degeneration of unconscious states. The quantum-like approach should be distinguished from consideration of the genuine quantum physical processes in the brain (cf. Penrose and Hameroff). In our approach the brain is a macroscopic system which information processing can be described by the formalism of quantum theory.

  We study the phenomenon of categorical perception within the quantum measurement process. We see perception as a complex encounter between the existing physical reality, the stimuli, and the reality expected by the perciever.

  This paper demonstrates that some non-classical models of human decision-making can be run successfully as circuits on quantum computers. The claim is not that the human brain uses qubits and quantum circuits explicitly, but that the mathematics shared between quantum cognition and quantum computing motivates the exploration of quantum computers for cognition modeling.

  Social reasoning requires the capacity of theory of mind (ToM) to contextualise and attribute mental states to others. Recent machine learning approaches to ToM have demonstrated that we can train the observer to read the past and present behaviours of other agents. We tackle the challenges by equipping the observer with novel neural memory mechanisms to encode, and hierarchical attention to selectively retrieve information about others. This results in ToMMY, a theory of mind model that learns to reason while making little assumptions about the underlying mental processes.

  We investigate the ways in which the quantum structures of superposition, contextuality, and entanglement have their origins in human perception itself. Our analysis takes us from a simple quantum measurement model, along how human perception incorporates the warping mechanism of categorical perception.

  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
