Entropy production of multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes correlates with consciousness levels in the human brain.
Physical Review E July 11, 2022 Matthieu Gilson, Enzo Tagliazucchi, Rodrigo Cofré
Consciousness is supported by complex patterns of brain activity which are indicative of irreversible nonequilibrium dynamics. While the framework of stochastic thermodynamics has facilitated the understanding of physical systems of this kind, its application to infer the level of consciousness from empirical data remains elusive. We faced this challenge by calculating entropy production in a...
