Bayesian brain theories and their link to quantum mechanics

Bayesian brain theories and their link to quantum mechanics

The Bayesian brain hypothesis frames the brain as a probabilistic machine, constantly updating predictions based on incoming sensory data. Emerging research explores striking parallels with quantum mechanics, suggesting that concepts like superposition and entanglement may offer deeper insights into perception, decision-making, and cognitive uncertainty, challenging traditional models and inspiring new approaches to understanding the dynamics of the mind.

Mind mathematics and the Bayesian brain in quantum cognition

Mind mathematics and the Bayesian brain in quantum cognition

Advances in mathematics are reshaping theories of human cognition, moving beyond classical models of rationality to embrace probabilistic and context-dependent frameworks. The integration of Bayesian inference and quantum cognition offers powerful tools for modelling perception, decision-making, and belief updating, aligning more closely with empirical findings from neuroscience. Emerging hybrid models reveal the mind’s dynamic, adaptive nature, challenging traditional assumptions and opening new pathways for understanding the intricate processes underlying thought, memory, and judgement.

The neuroscience behind criminal behaviour

Emerging research in neuroscience reveals how brain structure, neurochemistry, genetics, and early life experiences intertwine to influence criminal behaviour. From abnormalities in the prefrontal cortex and amygdala to hormonal imbalances and gene-environment interactions, biological factors play a significant role. These findings prompt crucial ethical debates as neuroscience edges closer to the courtroom, raising profound questions about responsibility, rehabilitation, and human rights in an era where the roots of crime are increasingly traced to the mind itself.
