On the Existence of Quantum Wave Function and Quantum Interference Effects in Mental States: An Experimental Confirmation during Perception and Cognition in Humans

TL;DR

This paper applies quantum theory to human mental states, demonstrating quantum wave functions and interference effects during perception and cognition through experimental evidence and psychological variables.

Contribution

It introduces a quantum theoretical framework for analyzing mental states and provides experimental confirmation of quantum effects in human perception and cognition.

Findings

Quantum features observed in mental states during perception and cognition

Psychological variables characterize quantum behavior of mind

Experimental evidence supports quantum interference in mental processes

Abstract

We introduce the quantum theoretical formulation to determine a posteriori, if existing, the quantum wave functions and to estimate the quantum interference effects of mental states. Such quantum features are actually found in the case of an experiment involving the perception and the cognition in humans. Also some specific psychological variables are introduced and it is obtained that they characterize in a stringent manner the quantum behaviour of mind during such performed experiment.
