Claim ID
improvisation-entropy
Assertion
In their review of creativity and psychedelics, Girn and colleagues cite a study in which musicians performing in a deliberately improvisatory 'let-go' mode showed increased entropy of brain activity relative to a fixed, 'strict' interpretation, and present this shared increase in neural entropy as indirect support for a link between the psychedelic state and creative/improvisatory cognition.
Quote
increases in the entropy of the EEG timeseries ... during the 'let-go' condition relative to the 'strict' condition
