Quantum mechanics, interference, and the brain

JA De Barros, P Suppes - Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 2009 - Elsevier
In this paper we discuss the use of quantum mechanics to model psychological experiments,
starting by sharply contrasting the need of these models to use quantum mechanical …

Analysis of the value of folk music intangible cultural heritage on the regulation of mental health

H Ning - Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023 - frontiersin.org
This paper proposes an approach based on the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage
(ICH) by studying the value of ICH to explore the value of the ICH of folk music on mental …

Why art? The role of arts in arts and health

B Vickhoff - Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 - frontiersin.org
This article is an answer to a report called “What is the evidence on the role of the arts in

Learning pattern recognition through quasi-synchronization of phase oscillators

E Vassilieva, G Pinto, J de Barros… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2010 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The idea that synchronized oscillations are important in cognitive tasks is receiving
significant attention. In this view, single neurons are no longer elementary computational …

Quantum-like model of behavioral response computation using neural oscillators

JA De Barros - Biosystems, 2012 - Elsevier
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 …

Complex macroscopic behavior in systems of phase oscillators with adaptive coupling

PS Skardal, D Taylor, JG Restrepo - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2014 - Elsevier
Using recent dimensionality reduction techniques in large systems of coupled phase
oscillators exhibiting bistability, we analyze the complex macroscopic behavior arising when …

Reconstruction of two-dimensional phase dynamics from experiments on coupled oscillators

KA Blaha, A Pikovsky, M Rosenblum, MT Clark… - Physical Review E …, 2011 - APS
Phase models are a powerful method to quantify the coupled dynamics of nonlinear
oscillators from measured data. We use two phase modeling methods to quantify the …

Phase-oscillator computations as neural models of stimulus–response conditioning and response selection

P Suppes, JA de Barros, G Oas - Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 2012 - Elsevier
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 …

Signal amplification of active rotators with phase-shifted coupling

XM Liang, L Zhao, ZH Liu - The European Physical Journal B, 2012 - Springer
In this paper, we study the signal amplification of coupled active rotators with phase-shifted
coupling. We find that the system's response to the external subthreshold signal can be …

Reinforcement learning in complementarity game and population dynamics

J Jost, W Li - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
We systematically test and compare different reinforcement learning schemes in a
complementarity game [J. Jost and W. Li, Physica A 345, 245 (2005) 10.1016/j. physa …
