summaryThe brain is a spatially extended system, operating out of equilibrium and with information transfer, processing and storing functions. But what aspects of brain activity can be extracted and represented using standard non-invasive system-level neuroimaging or, conversely, with what functions of observed brain dynamics we can represent brain activity is not totally clear. In this talk, it will be shown both theoretically and experimentally, that, while neuroimaging techniques provide a direct access to brain dynamics, they also give access to some important aspects of brain thermodynamics, and ultimately to some of its fundamental information theoretical properties.
