claimConte et al. (2007, 2009) proposed alternative approaches to understanding bistable perception.
referenceAtmanspacher H., Bach M., Filk T., Kornmeier J., and Römer H. published 'Cognitive time scales in a Necker-Zeno model for bistable perception' in the Open Cybernetics and Systemics Journal in 2008.
claimAtmanspacher and Filk (2010) predicted that specific distinguished states in bistable perception may violate temporal Bell inequalities, which serves as a test for quantum behavior.
referenceAtmanspacher H., Filk T., and Römer H. published 'Quantum Zeno features of bistable perception' in Biological Cybernetics in 2004.
referenceAtmanspacher et al. (2004, 2008) developed a model of bistable perception (such as the Necker cube) that describes psychophysical features which have been confirmed experimentally.
referenceAtmanspacher H. and Filk T. published 'A proposed test of temporal nonlocality in bistable perception' in the Journal of Mathematical Psychology in 2010.
claimFive categories of psychological phenomena have been addressed using mental quantum features: (i) decision processes, (ii) semantic networks, (iii) bistable perception, (iv) learning, and (v) order effects in questionnaires.

claimAtmanspacher and Filk (2010) showed that the Necker-Zeno model predicts a violation of temporal Bell inequalities for specific distinguished states in bistable perception, a theoretical prediction that remains to be tested experimentally.
claimTemporally nonlocal states in bistable perception are defined as states that are not sharply localized along the time axis but appear stretched over an extended time interval, within which causal connections are ill-defined and relations like 'earlier' or 'later' are illegitimate.
claimResearchers studying mental quantum features have addressed seven specific psychological phenomena: decision processes, order effects, bistable perception, learning, semantic networks, quantum agency, and super-quantum entanglement correlations.
referenceHarald Atmanspacher and T. Filk published 'The Necker-Zeno model for bistable perception' in Topics in Cognitive Science in 2013.
claimThe Necker-Zeno model, which models bistable perception (such as the perception of an ambiguous Necker cube) analogously to the physical quantum Zeno effect, predicts a quantitative relation between basic psychophysical time scales that has been experimentally confirmed.

claimBistable perception, such as the perception of a Necker cube, has been modeled analogously to the physical quantum Zeno effect.
claimThe Necker-Zeno model predicts a quantitative relation between basic psychophysical time scales in bistable perception, a prediction that has been confirmed experimentally as reviewed by Atmanspacher and Filk (2013).
