Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 物理系研究所 === 104 === People can easily sense the environment from ordered to disordered. Do we have a universal measurement on the state of order in human mind?
In thermal physics, there is a scale; entropy describes the disorder of a system. The thesis tries to connect the disorder in physics and people’s sense. Here we present an experiment and the preliminary results. We designed a series of black and white checkerboard pattern card, and select any two put together to compare. Through subjects to choose which one checkerboard relatively disordered, we can measure people’s subjective disorder. We can fit the result with information entropy successfully in most of the chessboards. The remains chessboards which cannot fit information entropy, we can find a relationship with Negentropy.
Note that the larger the Entropy, the more disorder that the subject’s sense, and in distinct conditions, subjects have different standard. These results doesn’t only imply that there have a universal measurement the order or disorder state in human mind, but plays a crucial role on the cognitive neuroscience.
