Quantum Cognition and Decision

Contemporary theories view decision making as a constructive process in which a decision maker accumulates information
to form preferences about the choice options and ultimately make a response. Here we examine how these constructive
processes unfold by tracking dynamic changes in preference strength. Across two experiments, we observed that mean
preference strength systematically oscillated over time and found that eliciting a choice early in time strongly affected the
pattern of preference oscillation later in time. Preferences following choices oscillated between being stronger than those
without prior choice and being weaker than those without choice. To account for these phenomena, we develop an open system
dynamic model which merges the dynamics of Markov random walk processes with those of quantum walk processes. This
model incorporates two sources of uncertainty: epistemic uncertainty about what preference state a decision maker has at
a particular point in time; and ontic uncertainty about what decision or judgment will be observed when a person has some
preference state. Representing these two sources of uncertainty allows the model to account for the oscillations in preference
as well as the effect of choice on preference formation.
This is based on a colloquium presented at Georgia Tech on Nov 4 2020.

I'm not sure about the right way to formulate my question. Does this mean that we (our brain ? body&brain ?) "are" a kind of quantum computing "machine" or does it mean we are simply emulating one ? I understand that the kind of research you are doing does tells us the answer, but I can't help to ask ?
