Abstract

In this mini-review, dedicated to the Jubilee of Professor Tadeusz Marek, we highlight in a popular way the power of so-called free random variables (hereafter FRV) calculus, viewed as a potential probability calculus for the XXI century, in applications to the broad area of cognitive sciences. We provide three examples: (i) inference of noisy signals from multivariate correlation data from the brain; (ii) distinguished role of non-normality in real neuronal models; (iii) applications to the field of deep learning in artificial neural networks.
