Zusammenfassung
Abstract Neurophysiological and imaging procedures to measure brain activity, such as fMRI or EEG, are employed in neuroscience to investigate processes of functional specialisation and functional integration in the human brain. Functioal integration can be described in two distinct ways: functional connectivity and effective connectivity. Whereas functional connectivity merely describes the statistical dependence between two time series, the concept of effective connectivity requires a mechanistic model of the causative effects upon which the data to be observed are based. This article summarises the conceptual…
