Solution to optimal control problem for constant bulk speed (optimal solution for the problem in Eq. (33)) during stimulation with an electric field. Left: bulk speed for constant velocity (solid line) plotted alongside experimental data with constant electric field stimulation protocol (dashed line). Middle: numerical solution of the optimal control problem for constant velocity (solid line) plotted against reference normalized electric field strength (dashed line). Right: effective signal, $s_{\text{eff}}$. Parameter values correspond to the posterior means for $\alpha$, ${\tau }_a$, ${\tau }_e$, and the pre-computed value for $\gamma$
