Neurophenomenology. (A) Average ratings (mean ± SEM) regarding the intensity for the three dimensions of experience which were found to be commonly altered across all participants following DMT administration. (B) Significant inverse relationships (white dots/circles) were found between the progression of visual effects induced by DMT and power at the alpha and the beta bands, as well as increases (black dots) in complexity (LZs and LZsN). Decreases of central beta band power showed a significant association the trajectory of bodily effects. Decreases in alpha band power and increases in complexity (LZs and LZsN) were significantly associated to the dynamics of emotional/metacognitive effects. Mostly consistent results were found with oscillatory power, however an intriguing positive relationship found with power at delta and theta bands for visual effects and reduced theta activity was linked to emotional/metacognitive effects. Filled circles/dots correspond to clusters p < 0.01 and hollow circles for clusters p < 0.05, N = 11. (C) Radar plots displaying the constellation of EEG effects associated to different dimensions of experience (mean values displayed).
