Mind-wandering is associated with late modulation of the heartbeat-evoked potential; mind-blanking is associated with greater decoupling of heart-brain phase coupling.

The modulation of early visual processes is noteworthy since schizophrenia is typically associated with a disruption of late processes.

Ketamine and schizophrenia could have similar behavioural and experiential consequences, but could differ in terms of mechanisms!

TLDR: Ketamine

👀 deteriorated conscious access (more masking, interference, less detection)

🧠 decreased EEG signatures of early visual processing (visual N1)

📈 induced manic-like and psychotic-like symptoms, yet only the psychotic-like dimension mediated conscious access impairments.
