Explicación de Entropía en el contexto de las neurociencias cognitivas
Entropy, in information theory, relates to the potential information represented in a signal, such as brain activity. A predictable signal exhibits low entropy, indicating redundancy with no new information over time. This predictability reflects order and low uncertainty for observers. This concept parallels thermodynamics, where entropy initially described the degree of disorder in molecular arrangements as systems increase in temperature and degrade over time, illustrating the second law of thermodynamics. Essentially, in information theory, entropy embodies uncertainty; higher entropy signifies greater uncertainty and complexity in sampled information.
