Abstract. Processes undergoing quantum mechanics exhibit quantum interference e®ects. In this case, quantum probabilities result to be di®erent from classical ones because they contain an additional so called quantum interference term. We use ambiguous ¯gures to analyse if during perception-cognition by human subjects we can observe violation of the classical probability ¯eld and the presence of quantum interference. The experiments, conducted on a group of 256 subjects, evidence that we indeed have such a quantum e®ect. Therefore, mental states, during perception and cognition of ambiguous ¯gures, appear to follow quantum mechanics.
