What people are saying
Discussions highlight the article's emphasis on brain entropy and its measurement techniques, mentioning EEG and high temporal resolution modalities, with comments like 'brain entropy positively associated with intelligence' and debates on the best methods to assess it. The tone is analytical yet enthusiastic, reflecting high interest and active engagement in understanding and applying the concepts to neuroscience research.
Most discussions acknowledge the value of the revised hypothesis and its support for understanding brain states related to consciousness and psychedelics.
Participants show high curiosity about the measures, implications, and research directions, as seen in references to EEG, TMS, and mental health applications.
Posts incorporate technical details, such as neural signals and entropy calculations, demonstrating active engagement with the scientific content.
While some emphasize the significance for neuroscience and mental health treatments, the overall impact appears moderate, fostering ongoing scientific discussion.
Abstract in brief
- The entropic brain hypothesis suggests that the level of entropy (or randomness) in spontaneous brain activity reflects how rich and diverse our conscious experiences are, with limits beyond which consciousness might be lost.
- Recent studies support the idea that psychedelic states are associated with increased brain entropy and heightened criticality, meaning the brain becomes more sensitive and adaptable to internal and external stimuli.
- The updated hypothesis offers specific ways to measure brain entropy, proposes new research directions, and considers how this understanding could improve treatments for mental health and neurological disorders like depression and consciousness disorders.

Most liked on X and Bluesky"Brain entropy positively associated with intelligence." More chaos, more degrees of freedom, nonlinearity, complexity of models. Combine with encoding the biggest amount of information in the least amount of bits possible in unified framework, deflation. https://t.co/W9YE3j26Bc

@ee_schenberg A little frustrating when you iterate your science (https://t.co/uKzoLoumpW) and precision of your hypotheses (https://t.co/lZeZdO0MSg) & it doesn't get acknowledged. The paper is meritorious, however. One big upshot is that others can now be better dialed in re metric https://t.co/Wy4QZWQzQH
@singletonion @ee_schenberg @D_E_McCulloch @anders_s_olsen @fisherpm1 @GitteKnudsen2 @CopenhagenNeuro @ManojDoss @PMallaroni BOLD isnt an optimal signal for assessing entropic brain effect of psychedelics. Sure, that’s where I started in 2013-2014 (a decade ago) but in this 2018 paper, I emphasised the need to look using a higher temporal resolution modality. https://t.co/83fw7tdR7z
@D_E_McCulloch @anders_s_olsen @fisherpm1 @GitteKnudsen2 @CopenhagenNeuro @singletonion @ManojDoss @PMallaroni Will have to check (looks thorough) but I continue to emphasise the superiority of eeg/Meg for assessing the entropic brain effect, which is remarkably robust and reliable. I first argued this here https://t.co/83fw7tdR7z

@D_E_McCulloch ‘Brain entropy’ can indeed mean different things. One advance might be to focus in (rather than out) on our definitions/measures? A positive implication of this paper but also argued a little while ago (https://t.co/83fw7tdR7z). Another positive is the discovery of an apparently
