Is engaging with music good for your mental health? This question has long been the topic
of empirical clinical and nonclinical investigations, with studies indicating positive …

Multiscale Entropy (MSE) is used to characterize the temporal irregularity of neural time
series patterns. Due to its' presumed sensitivity to non-linear signal characteristics, MSE is …

Recent findings have shown that psychedelics reliably enhance brain entropy (understood
as neural signal diversity), and this effect has been associated with both acute and long-term …

In today's digital information age, human exposure to visual artifacts has reached an
unprecedented quasi-omnipresence. Some of these cultural artifacts are elevated to the …

The complexity of images plays an important role in visual perception, including aesthetic
appreciation. We here propose the information-based model of visual complexity (IVC) …

Background/Objectives: Musical pleasure is considered to be induced by prediction errors
(surprise), as suggested in neuroimaging studies. However, the role of temporal changes in …

In this article, the impact of three experimental parameters in a harmonic expectancy study
are evaluated: stimulus duration (specifically the lead-in time prior to an unexpected event) …

The human brain is a complex, adaptive system capable of parsing complex stimuli and
generating complex behaviour. Understanding how to model and interpret the dynamic …

Why, across cultures and history, do we consistently find music to be an integral part of every
human society? One reason must be because of its temporal and structural complexity, its …
