Modeling the Cognitive Activity of an Individual Based on the Mathematical Apparatus of Self-Oscillatory Quantum Mechanics

Abstract

The goal of this research is to design a model of cognitive activity in the human brain. The fundamental component of such a model is the mathematical apparatus of self-oscillating quantum mechanics considered through the theory of information images/representations. Methods. This article provides a brief description of the proposed theory and highlights remarkable similarities between information images/representations and certain elementary particles, in particular—virtual Feynman particles. Following this principle, the human mind is considered as a one-dimensional potential hole with finite walls of different sizes. The internal potential barrier in this model represents the border between consciousness and subconsciousness. The authors carried out parametrization, taking into account the proposed theory. This allowed authors to lay down the foundations of the mathematical apparatus, viewing the proposed model both from the standpoint of classical quantum mechanics and through the mathematical apparatus of self-oscillatory quantum mechanics. The findings could open a way to the prediction of certain cognitive functions of the human brain. Additionally, the authors formulated the equation, which describes the state function of the information image during the cognitive activity of an individual. Conclusions. The key outcome of this research are the primary calculations of the state functions of information images/representations on the computer model, as well as the patterns of movement of the information image into and out of the human consciousness.
