“…A lattice called an orthomodular lattice was developed not only for Boolean algebra but also for quantum logic (Birkhoff and von Neumann, 1936 ; Greechie, 1971 ; Maeda, 1980 ; Kalmbach, 1981 , 1983 ; Khrennikov, 2001 ). Since quantum mechanics is used as information science to explain decision-making and cognitive illusions (Khrennikov, 2001 , 2010 ; Aerts, 2009 ; Busemeyer and Bruza, 2012 ; Aerts et al, 2019 ; Ishwarya and Cherukuri, 2020 ), the way quantum logic is derived in cognition has recently been studied (Gunji and Haruna, 2022 ; Gunji and Nakamura, 2022a , b ). Lattice theory has also been developed in programming and computation to analyze programming (Scott, 1972 , 1976 ; Nielson et al, 2005 ).…”

While there are many studies in which body ownership can be transferred to a virtual body, there are few experimental studies of how subjects feel about their own bodies being deformed since a real body cannot be deformed. Here, we propose such an experimental setup, in which a twisted hand is diagonally viewed from behind, which is called a “monkey's hand.” Although the subject cannot see the thumb hidden behind his or her arm, he or she feels that the monkey's hand has an ambiguous thumb that functionally never exists but structurally exists. This ambiguity is consistent with experimental results on proprioceptive drift, by which the deformation of the hand is measured. The ambiguity of the presence and absence of the thumb is finally analyzed with a specific algebraic structure called a lattice. This can help us understand disownership as being different from the absence of ownership.

“…Geometric structures also appear in other models of consciousness that could be of relevance to our experiment. Recently, models of consciousness based on quantum decision making have been proposed that incorporate context into the equation (Ishwarya & Cherukuri, 2020a, 2020b. According to these models, consciousness arises due to high-dimensional representations of concepts within a contextual sub-space.…”

There have been several recent attempts at using Artificial Intelligence systems to model aspects of consciousness (Gamez, 2008;Reggia, 2013). Deep Neural Networks have been given additional functionality in the present attempt, allowing them to emulate phenological aspects of consciousness by self-generating information representing multi-modal inputs as either sounds or images. We added these functions to determine whether knowledge of the input's modality aids the networks' learning. In some cases, these representations caused the model to be more accurate after training and for less training to be required for the model to reach its highest accuracy scores.

“…Dragoi (2020) have brought the similarity among the functionality of neurons in the human brain and the social networks. Very recently, Ishwarya & Kumar (2020) have discussed how three-way FCA can be used to model the human cognition. In particular they have discussed the quantum aspects that this model exhibit which are similar to the cognitive aspects.…”

Formed at the cerebral cortex, neuron cell assemblies are regarded as basic units in cortical representation. Proposed by Hebb, these cell assemblies are regarded as the distributed neural representation of relevant objects, concepts or constellations. Each cell assembly contains a group of neurons having strong mutual excitatory connections. During a stimulus, these cells get activated. This activation either performs a given action or represent a given percept or concept in brain. This theory is in the strongest connection of the problem of concept forming in the brain. The challenge is to model coordinated activity among neurons in brain mathematically. The need of modelling it mathematically enables this paper to give clear view of functionality of Hebbian cell assembly. Therefore this paper proposes a pragmatic approach to Hebbian cell assemblies using mathematical model grounded in lattice based formalism that utilizes Galois connections. During this proposal, the authors also show the connections of the proposal to cognitive model of memory in particularly long-term memory (LTM).
