That's a common misconception....
From the studies done with mushrooms and LSD in recent times....it shows that psychedelics actually cause a reduction/decrease in activity across the entire brain, psychedelics do not cause the brain to "light up" with activity. A correlation has been shown between the more brain activity decreased, the more intense/vivid the trip/effects were.
So you know better than the MRI study at the Department of Medicine at Imperial?
 Overall brain activity/communication between areas of the brain is increased, however activity in parts of the front brain, which govern personality and ego, is decreased, which is why you get ego death at higher doses. Maybe mushrooms shut down more of the brain, but LSD at least lights you up.
MRI and fMRI studies can be notoriously misleading, and this study in particular has been called into question before.

Not sure if there has been any MRI research while on DMT. You can't really say the LSD studies are the same or similar. Although, on long term ayahuasca there have been some changes to certain brain size areas related to personality or ego. Also, most psychedelics probably do stimulate the locus coeruleus, which is related to feelings of things being one, or all connected, like in a universal consciousness field.

Oh gosh! Hope you got paid some good money for that! Regarding the "blast off" after my last hit, I did indeed "go blind" and all I saw were the patterns everywhere. Did that mean that I actually got to the highest point? I wasnt sure what level that was. It was my third hit, but also it was my first time. Just curious.

Very intersting, thanks for the clarification. Leave it to the mainstream media to fuck up science reporting. 
 I got super paranoid in spring when I had the cops all up in my business and deleted a whole bunch shit so I nuked my seedling tek. I will do another one next time I do a big sowing. If you have any quesitons me. I have dialed things in even more and am happier with the results I'm getting with this batch than the last. The moral of the story is the cheap, powdered coir is good for germination but terrible for long term survival of the seedlings. It rots out the roots.
