By negative entropy, here, I meant the situation where every event in the
universe, started reversing.  This includes events in the sub-atomic scale
as well as the macro-cosmic scale.  Perhaps, as you say, the word `entropy'
is a misfit here; but the idea was to convey the question that if time
started reversing, would the human mind be capable of finding that out.

Since what we think at any instant is determined by the structure of
the brain at that instant, when time starts reversing suddenly, we
would still think exactly what we thought during the period of
`positive entropy' when we had that brain structure.  As a result of
which, we may never know whether `entropy' in the Universe is actually
increasing or decreasing, only that our brains are oriented in the
direction of `positive entropy'.
