Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The new and rapidly emerging field of quantum cognition brings forth the formalism of quantum probability and quantum information, with their associated distinct logical structure, to the modeling of cognitive phenomena. Especially biological information processing related to human conceptual reasoning, apprehension, judgement, and decision-making takes a center stage on this field. Since its conception, as a generalized quantum paradigm, quantum cognition had shed light on important aspects of contextual dependence in inference and deduction. Where traditional modelling techniques failed, produced paradoxes or simply reached ‘non sequitur’ barriers, quantum cognition models have achieved breakthroughs to our understanding. The present issue aims at briefly reviewing these achievements, mapping the territory of its state of the art, and exploring its present frontiers. This Special Issue focuses on probabilistic reasoning related to dynamical models, the relation of quantum-like probabilities to Bayesian inference and its novel varieties, the relevance of the quantum cognition approach on semantic analysis and information retrieval, as well as complex cognitive functioning in the presence of ‘information lateralization’ in decisions under constraints and uncertainty. This Special Issue serves to draw the attention of researchers to related fields, and we even hope that will spark the interest of new researchers that would consider joining this enriching and promising endeavor.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
