Order Effects in Bayesian Updates

Catarina Moreira, Jose Acacio de Barros

Order effects occur when judgments about a hypothesis's probability given a sequence of information do not equal the probability of the same hypothesis when the information is reve…

On the assumptions underlying KS-like contradictions

J. Acacio de Barros, Juan Pablo Jorge, Federico Holik

The Kochen-Specker theorem is one of the fundamental no-go theorems in quantum theory. It has far-reaching consequences for all attempts trying to give an interpretation of the qua…

Contextuality and Indistinguishability

J. Acacio de Barros, Federico Holik, Decio Krause

It is well known that in quantum mechanics we cannot always define consistently properties that are context independent. Many approaches exist to describe contextual properties, su…

Quantum-like model of behavioral response computation using neural oscillators

José Acacio de Barros

In this paper we propose the use of neural interference as the origin of quantum-like effects in the brain. We do so by using a neural oscillator model consistent with neurophysiol…

Strict Holism in a Quantum Superposition of Macroscopic States

J. Acacio de Barros, Patrick Suppes

We show that some N-particle quantum systems are holistic, such that the system is deterministic, whereas its parts are random. The total correlation is not sufficient to determine…

Some conceptual issues involving probability in quantum mechanics

J. Acacio de Barros, Patrick Suppes

We discuss some issues about probability in quantum mechanics, with particular emphasis on the GHZ theorem. We propose the usage of nonmonotonic upper probabilities as a tool to de…
