Outline of Research at the Start

本研究では５年間の研究期間で、【目標１】測定状況依存性が存在する認知システムを見出すために、ベルの不等式の破れを示す実験条件を検証し、量子認知実験系を確立する。そして、【目標２】脳波とfMRIを用いて脳活動データを取得し、量子確率論を用いたモデルベース解析を行う。このことにより、「量子認知パラメータ」と連動する脳活動の時空構造を明らかにし、曖昧で不確定な認知現象の本質的な構造を脳内で同定することを目指す。

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

昨年度設計した、量子ゼノン効果を基 にした実験パラダイムを用いて、データ収集を行なった。具体的には、信念の更新をターゲットに、認知判断の有無による信念の固執を評価した。認知判断の有無により、信念の更新に違いが生じることを見出した。さらに、ベイズ推定と量子確率論による推定を比較することができた。また、信念に加え、他の認知判断における量子ゼノン効果についても実験パラダイムの設計を開始した。

Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

今年度は予定通り、量子認知実験実施を行い、多人数のデータ収集を行い、量子論の検証を行うことができた。

Strategy for Future Research Activity

量子論に従う認知条件の選定を継続し、量子モデルと古典モデルの比較を行い、量子確率モデルの作成を進める。
