Sample entropy reveals an age-related reduction in the complexity of dynamic brain

Abstract Dynamic reconfiguration of the human brain is characterized by the nature of complexity. The purpose of this study was to measure such complexity and also analyze its association with age. We modeled the dynamic reconfiguration process by dynamic functional connectivity, which was establish...
