Abstract
The Faradarmani Consciousness Field, which is a subset of the Cosmic Consciousness Network, is non-physical in nature. Although its characteristics cannot be identified using quantitative instruments, it is possible to detect its effects through experimental design. In this context, the brain’s response under the influence of this field has been investigated in previous studies, and changes in electrical activity have been recorded. It is hypothesized that information transmitted under the influence of this field leads to observable changes at the brain level. Based on information theory introduced by Shannon, entropy calculation provides a quantitative measure of the information content within the data. Accordingly, this study assessed two types of entropy, Shannon entropy and minimum entropy, based on total absolute power and absolute power across various brainwave frequency bands. It is worth noting that although entropy has been examined in previous studies related to consciousness fields in other contexts, this is the first time it has been applied to brain electrical activity. According to the findings, both Shannon and minimum entropy of total brain activity decreased under the influence of the Faradarmani Consciousness Field, which may serve as a meaningful indicator of its impact on the brain and its electrical activity. From a frequency-based perspective, this entropy reduction, in terms of Shannon entropy, was observed across all frequency bands at the onset of using the Faradarmani Consciousness Field (Task 1), while the reduction in minimum entropy was seen in all bands except high beta and gamma 1.
