Abstract: Abstract This review paper has three main goals. First, to discuss a contextual neurophysiologically plausible model of neural oscillators that reproduces some of the features of quantum cognition. Second, to show that such a model predicts contextual situations where quantum cognition is inadequate. Third, to present an extended probability theory that not only can describe situations that are beyond quantum probability, but also provides an advantage in terms of contextual decision-making.
