How does concept of entropy from thermodynamics apply to neural activity during sleep?
Entropy decreases as neurons become more synchronized during sleep.
Entropy increases during REM sleep because body temperature fluctuates.
Both denote increased disorder - higher neural entropy observed during sleeping states mirrors increase disorder postulated by thermodynamic entropy
The concept of entropy doesn't apply to neural activity in any way.
