Measures of Entropy and Complexity in altered states of consciousness

arXiv Preprint Archive January 9, 2017 Diego M. Mateos, Ramon Guevara Erra, Richard Wennberg et al. preprint

Quantification of complexity in neurophysiological signals has been studied using different methods, especially those from information or dynamical system theory. These studies revealed the dependence on different states of consciousness, particularly that wakefulness is characterized by larger complexity of brain signals perhaps due to the necessity of the brain to handle varied sensorimotor...
