D\u00edaz Palencia, J. L. (2025). Neuroentropy and consciousness: A meta-analytic review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comprehensive meta-analysis explores neuroentropy\u2014the complexity or diversity of brain activity\u2014as a quantitative marker of consciousness. Drawing from EEG, MEG, fMRI, intracranial recordings, and perturbation-based methods (such as the Perturbational Complexity Index), the review synthesizes findings from 2013\u20132023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key insights include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Higher entropy during wakefulness, REM sleep, and psychedelic states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reduced entropy in anesthesia, deep sleep, and disorders of consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinical applications of entropy measures in anesthesia monitoring and detecting covert awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The study highlights both the promise and the challenges of using brain complexity as an index for consciousness, making it a valuable contribution to the growing dialogue between neuroscience and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
