The functional entropy effectively measures the dispersion (or

spread) of functional connectivities that exist within the brain. We
initiated this study under the assumption that the dispersion of func-
tional connectivities is related to the age of the brain."

males have higher entropies than females
very interesting result: histogram of correlation coefficients of the functional network is more peaked in schizophrenic patients resulting in a smaller functional entropy than would be expected for a patient's age
