The interaction between epistemic confirmation bias and network connectivity in determining collective outcomes. (Top) a heatmap of the mean polarisation index across $S=100$ independent realisations of the multi-agent opinion dynamics simulations, for unique combinations of network connectivity p and epistemic confirmation bias precision $\gamma$. (Bottom) selected line plots show extreme settings of p ($p=0.2$ and $p=0.8$) and $\gamma$ ($\gamma =3.5$ and $\gamma =9.0$). Shaded areas around each line represent the standard deviation of the polarisation index across independent realisations.
