Quantum Cognition: Key Issues and Discussion

Quantum cognition is an emerging field that uses mathematical principles of quantum theory to help formalize and understand cognitive systems and processes. The topic on the potential of using quantum theory to build models of cognition (Volume 5, issue 4) introduces and synthesizes its new development through an introduction and six core articles. The current issue presents 14 commentaries on ...

Key Words, Culture and Cognition

How much does language influence how we think? How far are the categories of our language contingent and culture-specific? Few questions are of greater significance to the social sciences. In this paper we attempt to demonstrate that linguistic semantics can address these questions with rigour and precision, by analysing some examples of cultural 'key words' in several languages. We want to arg...

Key Challenges and Issues Facing the New Executive Director of the Global Fund: A Discussion Starter

As of June 2006 its grants had provided ARV treatment for 544,000 people living with HIV...

Quantum Cognition and Entanglement

The hypothesis that there may be something quantum-like about the human mental function was put forward with “Spooky Activation at Distance” formula which attempted to model the effect that when a word’s associative network is activated during study in memory experiment; it behaves like a quantumentangled system. The human body is a constant flux of thousands of chemical/biological interactions...
