Analysis of MRS Spectrum and Shannon Entropy Changes Under the Influence of the Faradarmani Consciousness Field (Task) and without it (Rest)

Abstract

The Faradarmani Consciousness Field is non-physical in nature, and its influence begins through the human mind. In a previous study using fMRI, it was shown that specific brain regions in trained individuals, known as Faradarmangars, became activated or deactivated during the task state involving the use of this field. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H-MRS), as a non-invasive method, allows for the assessment of changes in brain function and metabolism during exposure to the Faradarmani Consciousness Field. In this study, changes in the output spectrum from the MRS method were analyzed without focusing on any specific metabolite, accompanied by the calculation of Shannon entropy based on the distribution of spectral values. In fact, through this analysis, prior to the detailed examination of each individual metabolite, we gain insight into possible overall metabolic changes in the brains of Faradarmangars based on the obtained spectrum. This research significantly contributes to understanding general metabolic changes involved in brain activation and deactivation, as well as identifying the contrast between activated and deactivated areas based on the quantitative metric of entropy. According to the results of this study, the MRS spectrum showed an approximately 30% overall reduction in amplitude in the brain's activation region and about a 20% decrease in the Shannon entropy of amplitude distribution in comparison to the average control group. In contrast, no significant changes were observed in these parameters in the deactivated region.
