Quantum-like model of behavioral response computation using neural oscillators

Neurons and Cognition 2012-10-09 v2

Abstract

In this paper we propose the use of neural interference as the origin of quantum-like effects in the brain. We do so by using a neural oscillator model consistent with neurophysiological data. The model used was shown to reproduce well the predictions of behavioral stimulus-response theory. The quantum-like effects are obtained by the spreading activation of incompatible oscillators, leading to an interference-like effect mediated by inhibitory and excitatory synapses.
