Figure 1. Models of Effective Connectivity
This schematic shows the underlying equations on which dynamic (DCM) and Granger (GCM) causal models are based.
In DCM for fMRI, bilinear differential equations describe the changes in neuronal activity x(t)i in terms of linearly separable components that reflect the influence of other regional state variables. Known deterministic inputs u(t) elicit a change in neuronal states directly though ci or increase the coupling parameters aij in proportion to the bilinear coupling parameters bij. The neuronal states enter a region-specific haemodynamic model to produce the outputs y(t)i.
GCM tries to model the ensuing dependencies among the outputs with a time-lagged linear regression of the current response on previous responses (up to an order denoted by p).
In both models, the data contain observation noise ε(t) that is added to regional observations. The DCM is effectively a state-space model formulated in continuous time; whereas the GCM is a vector autoregression model in discrete time. See Figure 2 for a fuller explanation of the haemodynamic part of the model.
This diagram image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Diagram of Dynamic Causal Modelling - Causal Modelling and Brain Connectivity in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Karl Friston.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
