Entropy is one of the most useful concepts in science but also one of the most confusing. This article serves as a brief introduction to the various types of entropy that can be used to quantify the ...

Our brains produce more entropy when we are awake than when we are asleep. The finding could lead to better ways to measure the consciousness of people who appear to be in a coma. Entropy is a measure ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" ...

It is estimated that as many as 80 percent of all people partake in the world's most common psychoactive substance, caffeine. People enjoy soda, tea, or coffee, not only because of the taste, but for ...

Comprehensive overview of high-entropy oxides (HEOs) in memristive devices, emphasizing their potential in neuromorphic computing and their ability to simulate synaptic plasticity and multilevel ...

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.
