Fig. 3: The temporal evolution of the bifurcation parameter, a(t), distinguishes between DMT and the placebo condition.

Fig. 3

A \(a(t)\), defined as a gamma function, for n = 50 independent runs of parameter optimization, compared between both conditions. Plots with thicker lines indicate the curves associated with mean value parameters. B Two-dimensional representation of the optimal gamma function parameters, \(\lambda\) and \(\beta\), both for placebo and DMT. Individual points indicate the outcome of the n = 50 independent runs of parameter optimization, while the larger full circles represent the average across simulation runs. Comparisons for the means of both parameters were made with two-sided t-tests with p-values < 0.0001 for both parameters (DMT: dimethyltryptamine).
