Dr. Andreea Diaconescu

Classical Models of Effective Connectivity and Introduction to DCM

Literature: (Penny et al., 2004; Stephan et al., 2010; McIntosh and Mišić, 2013)

Topics:

• General Systems Theory: foundations, main ideas, general equations
• Discuss pros/cons of PPIs, SEM, and show how in which way they represent a specific system model
• Show how the general concept/equation of GST is mirrored by the DCM state equation
