Abstract

Neuroscience has realized valuable advances. As example, it has identified brain regions performing learning, memory, feeling and still more. The current tendency in neuroscience retains that adding pieces of knowledge day by day, we will finally arrive to an unified understanding of brain including the manner in which mind and consciousness arise and explain their functions. Also a number of empirical psychological results have been collected. However a profound gap remains between neuroscience advances and empirical psychological data .We retain that such existing gap is due to a missing theoretical model linking neuroscience to psychology. We have arrived to formulate a basic theoretical quantum model particularly of the perceptive - cognitive functions. The result is that quantum mechanics has a decisive role in human cognition. Our quantum model relates directly our mind entities. The model also finds the existing correlations between the brain time dynamics operating without direct awareness and the subsequent behaviour that is induced determining our subsequent behaviours. In the present paper we discuss in detail and for the first time such further basic features of the model. We perform one experiment on priming showing that its results agree with the given quantum mechanical basic model
