Quantum Cognition — recently published as a new field term for cognitive thinking.

Quantum cognition is an emerging field which applies the mathematical formalism of quantum theory to model cognitive phenomena such as information processing by the human brain, language, decision making, human memory, concepts and conceptual reasoning, human judgment, and perception. ^[1][2][3][4] The field clearly distinguishes itself from the quantum mind as it is not reliant on the hypothesis that there is something micro-physical quantum mechanical about the brain. Quantum cognition is based on the quantum-like paradigm^[5][6] or generalized quantum paradigm ^[7] or quantum structure paradigm ^[8] that information processing by complex systems such as the brain, taking into account contextual dependence of information and probabilistic reasoning, can be mathematically described in the framework of quantum information and quantum probability theory.

Quantum cognition uses the mathematical formalism of quantum theory to inspire and formalize models of cognition that aim to be an advance over models based on traditional classical probability theory. The field focuses on modeling phenomena in cognitive science that have resisted traditional techniques or where traditional models seem to have reached a barrier (e.g., human memory ^[9]), and modeling preferences in decision theory that seem paradoxical from a traditional rational point of view (e.g., preference reversals ^[10]). Since the use of a quantum-theoretic framework is for modeling purposes, the identification of quantum structures in cognitive phenomena does not presuppose the existence of microscopic quantum processes in the human brain.

A short rebuttal of the ‘immortal dictators’ objection.

C’mon now. This isn’t even a serious objection.

Preamble: I’m sure this is obvious, and I have repeated it who knows how many times, but rejuvenation would not make you immortal. Rejuvenation saves your butt from diseases, not from bullets.

That being said, let’s stick to the topic of bullets and guns for a little while. This particular objection to rejuvenation is something like this: Tyrants and oppressors would sure do anything in their power to get their hands on rejuvenation and use it to perpetuate their dictatorship indefinitely. Since an everlasting dictatorship is bad, the rejuvenation therapies that might lead to it are bad too.

I do hope people realize things like nanoparticles/ quantum bio revolutionizing everything in medicine beyond AI. Anyone, not considering in biotech and medical space in general will look dated as improved and advance options are presented that works in conjunction with our systems v. trying kill things or negatively altered our systems like chemo, radioactive treatments, and other drugs do today.

Moderna Therapeutics hopes to turn RNA into a new kind of drug. Can it live up to the hype?

Many folks have seen by my posts on QC as QC is desperately needed for our technical and energy infrastructures we now need to expand our work on quantum bio as it will drastically reduce healthcare costs and mortality rates through an approach of the brain is able to heal the body itself. I know many (like myself) taking their QC knowledge & applying to medical research in Quantum Biology. Our focus is on multiple fronts including areas such as reverse aging, cell & gene technology, immunology, brain health, etc.

2017 sees the first longevity and cryo international event in Spain in three cities! Great to see the interest in rejuvenation biotechnology growing globally.

Spain hosts its first longevity and cryonics event this year and we take a quick look at what’s in store.

When you picture deliveries by drone, you’re probably imagining a glittering craft winching the latest purchase from Amazon Prime down to excited suburban consumers. A thrilling technology, but ultimately one that serves to do little more than put delivery drivers out of work and further fuel our rampant addiction to consumerism.

However, in other less economically developed parts of the world, the humble drone could be nothing short of a revolution.

“Obviously robotics and autonomous technologies will have very large political and social ramifications in industrial countries, but we feel in poorer countries that are not industrialised and never going to be industrialised, then robotics can buy you some efficiency that you would not otherwise have,” said Redline Cargo Drone Network founder and director of Afrotech-EPFL Jonathan Ledgard in a talk at WebSummit about his ambitious project.

Making folks aware of the up coming Quantum Biology workshop in March.

The ninth Workshop on Quantum Effects in Biological Systems will be held in Jerusalem, Israel, on March 26 — 29, 2017.

More information soon, here.

Another interesting conference on Quantum sensors and hosted in China. Definitely looks intriguing.

Quantum sensing is a new quantum technology that utilizes quantum coherence for ultrasensitive detection.

Applications for this meeting must be submitted by June 4, 2017. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the meeting is oversubscribed, it will be stated here. Note: Applications for oversubscribed meetings will only be considered by the Conference Chair if more seats become available due to cancellations.

This will be the last invention humanity needs, says Ben Goertzel.
