Non-commutative structures of brain and cognition: quantum and contextual probability as a translational framework
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience July 17, 2026 Haruki Emori, Andrei Khrennikov, Atsushi Iriki
Cognitive neuroscience has accumulated robust findings (e.g., order effects in judgment, multi-path motor preparation, perceptual binding, attentional selection, and the recursive construction of self and time) that systematically resist explanation within classical probabilistic and causal frameworks. We argue that these are not anomalies but signatures of a deeper, non-commutative...
