Quantum modeling uncovers cognitive processes in decision making and perception, suggesting new insights into human behavior.
I present a quantum-tunnelling oscillator model as a universal dynamical engine for two paradigmatic problems in quantum cognition theory—optical illusion perception and group decision making—where individuals are treated as quantum-mechanical agents whose choices shift through context-dependent transitions rather than simple probabilities. I show that, when networked together, these units form a quantum-cognitive neural system that reproduces familiar collective and perceptual phenomena while naturally accommodating counterintuitive processes that challenge classical models. Bridging ideas from quantum cognition theory and neural networks, this approach offers a compact, physically grounded way to describe how real individuals and groups think, perceive and decide.
