Fig. 6. Eyes-closed (EC) electroencephalography (EEG) alpha power is suppressed by psilocybin in the presence of midazolam.

Fig. 6

A Power spectrum at electrode Pz averaged across all subjects during baseline (pre-drug) eyes-open, baseline eyes-closed, and eyes-closed at t = 2 h. after psilocybin administration. Note the prominent alpha peak (8–12 Hz) during pre-drug eyes-closed that is suppressed during pre-drug eyes-open and during eyes-closed with psilocybin. Data clouds represent standard errors of the mean. B Eyes-closed alpha power ratio (psilocybin/baseline) for each participant as a function of target midazolam (Midaz) dose. The two participants who exhibited memory impairment in Fig. 4 are indicated by filled symbols. C Distribution of alpha power across the EEG electrode array showing that eyes-closed alpha during baseline (center) is focused in the back of the brain and is profoundly suppressed at t = 2 h. after psilocybin administration.
