Thermodynamics of consciousness: A non-invasive perturbational framework

2025-12-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The quest for reliable and objective measures of consciousness is critical in basic and clinical neuroscience. Across species, the Perturbational Complexity Index (PCI) has emerged as a robust empirical marker by directly perturbing the brain, yet its underlying principles of physics are not fully understood. Here, we bridge this gap by introducing a non-invasive framework based on generative wh...
