Beschreibung
This book discusses the paradigm of quantum ontology as an appropriate model for measuring cognitive processes. It clearly shows the inadequacy of the application of classical probability theory in modelling the human cognitive domain. The chapters investigate the context dependence and neuronal basis of cognition in a coherent manner. According to this framework, epistemological issues related to decision making and state of mind are seen to be similar to issues related to equanimity and neutral mind, as discussed in Buddhist perspective. The author states that quantum ontology as a modelling tool will help scientists create new methodologies of modelling in other streams of science as well.

Uses probabilistic arguments like quantum probability to explain new empirical evidence in the cognitive domain Discusses decision making and its underlying logic in the context of neuroscience Discusses epistemological issues from the Buddhist perspective Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

“Roy’s book is a valid effort for specialists in decision theory and for those who explore the future of tools to support the processes involved in decision making, tools which will be located at the intersection of Individual and collective intelligence and social computing, in an area of knowledge that is defined as scientific and well-founded reflection advances and attempts to explain the correspondence between decisions and reality.” (Melio Sáenz, ResearchGate, researchgate.net, June, 2017)
