All participants were 18–65 years old, medication-free, and had a MADRS score ≥20. Non-parametric metrics averaged over each study day, metrics derived from complexity analysis, and traditionally calculated non-parametric metrics averaged over two weeks were calculated from the actigraphy time series. A separate analysis was conducted for a subsample (<i>n</i> = 17) to assess the utility of these metrics in a hospital setting.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>In HVs, lower intradaily variability was observed within daily rest/activity patterns post-ketamine versus post-placebo (<i>F</i> = 5.16(1,15), <i>p</i> = 0.04).
