This book tackles the challenging question which mathematical
formalisms and possibly new physical notions should be developed
for quantitatively describing human cognition and behavior, in
addition to the ones already developed in the physical and
cognitive sciences. Indeed, physics is widely used in modeling
social systems, where, in particular, new branches of science such
as sociophysics and econophysics have arisen. However, many if not
most characteristic features of humans like willingness, emotions,
memory, future prediction, and moral norms, to name but a few, are
not yet properly reflected in the paradigms of physical thought and
theory. The choice of a relevant formalism for modeling mental
phenomena requires the comprehension of the general philosophical
questions related to the mind-body problem. Plausible answers to
these questions are investigated and reviewed, notions and concepts
to be used or to be taken into account are developed and some
challenging questions are posed as open problems. This text
addresses theoretical physicists and neuroscientists modeling any
systems and processes where human factors play a crucial role,
philosophers interested in applying philosophical concepts to the
construction of mathematical models, and the mathematically
oriented psychologists and sociologists, whose research is
fundamentally related to modeling mental processes.
