Meditation increases the entropy of brain oscillatory activity.
PMID: Neuroscience. 2020 Feb 4. Epub 2020 Feb 4. PMID: 32032666 Abstract Title: Meditation Increases the Entropy of Brain Oscillatory Activity. Abstract: We address the hypothesis that the entropy of neural dynamics indexes the intensity and quality of conscious content. Previous work established that serotonergic psychedelics can have a dysregulating effect on brain activity, leading …
