A Shared Entropic Axis Spans States of Consciousness Across Pharmacological and Clinical Conditions

2026-06-16

Abstract excerpt

A general account of how diverse states of consciousness arise from brain activity requires a quantitative framework that generalises across them. The Entropic Brain Theory proposes that states of consciousness can be ordered along a single dimension defined by the entropy of spontaneous neural activity, but this prediction has not been tested across pharmacological and clinical perturbations within a common analy...
