Introduction: The analysis of signals in the neurosciences raises several questions. One important issue is the detection of interactions between signals, as they promise to disclose the biological basis underlying the normal behavior or the abnormal functioning of certain networks. Here, it is of particular importance to reliably infer the direction of information flow. Some approaches to this aim have been suggested. We compare their abilities and limitations on simulated data as well as in an application to essential tremor. Material and Methods: Based on simulated data we investigate the abilities and limita…
