Quantum-like model of behavioral response computation using neural oscillators

نویسنده

چکیده

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 elsewhere to reproduce well the predictions of behavioral stimulus-response theory. The quantum-like effects are brought about by the spreading activation of incompatible oscillators, leading to an interference-like effect mediated by inhibitory and excitatory synapses.

Response Selection Using Neural Phase Oscillators

In a recent paper, Suppes, de Barros, & Oas (2012) used neural oscillators to create a model, based on reasonable neurophysiological assumptions, of the behavioral stimulus-response (SR) theory. In this paper, we describe the main characteristics of the model, emphasizing its physical and intuitive aspects.

Beyond the quantum formalism: consequences of a neural-oscillator model to quantum cognition

In this paper we present a neural oscillator model of stimulus response theory that exhibits quantum-like behavior. We then show that without adding any additional assumptions, a quantum model constructed to fit observable pairwise correlations has no predictive power over the unknown triple moment, obtainable through the activation of multiple oscillators. We compare this with the results obta...

Quantum-Like Computations Using Coupled Nano-scale Oscillators

In this paper we consider possibilities to mimic quantum-like computations with classical nano-scale devices. In particular, we study dynamics of coupled oscillators arrays and propose a method to imitate basic one-qubit and two-qubit operations using coupled oscillator networks.

K-Winners-Take-All Computation with Neural Oscillators

Artificial spike-based computation, inspired by models of computation in the central nervous system, may present significant performance advantages over traditional methods for specific types of large scale problems. This paper describes very simple network architectures for k-winners-take-all and soft-winner-take-all computation using neural oscillators. Fast convergence is achieved from arbit...

Phase-Oscillator Computations as Neural Models of Stimulus-Response Conditioning and Response Selection

The activity of collections of synchronizing neurons can be represented by weakly coupled nonlinear phase oscillators satisfying Kuramoto’s equations. In this article, we build such neural-oscillator models, partly based on neurophysiological evidence, to represent approximately the learning behavior predicted and confirmed in three experiments by well-known stochastic learning models of behavi...
