This study demonstrates that the entropy of brain rhythms in the alpha and beta ranges serves as a significant indicator of the efficiency of visual information processing. We employed the method of recurrent quantitative analysis to estimate the recurrency tIme entropy across various EEG frequency ranges and conducted a correlation analysis to identify significant relationships between entropy and reaction time. EEG signals were collected from children aged 8–11 years while they performed visual search tasks. Our results indicate that higher entropy is associated with more efficient visual information processing.
