Heatmap of Multimodal Factor fit based for both post-FIC (top) and no-FIC (bottom) simulations.

The result that MMF maximizes not directly at the critical point of saddle-node bifurcation ( but at can be explained by two factors: (1) we sampled the space more densely for the sub-bistable regimes than for the super-bistable and (2) ones, as we suspected this range to be optimal, second: the network effects and noise have primarily additive effect, which causes a shift in effective network average of I_ext,i to the right of the value.
