Dynamic causal modeling for EEG and MEG.

چکیده
We present a review of dynamic causal modeling (DCM) for magneto- and electroencephalography (M/EEG) data. DCM is based on a spatiotemporal model, where the temporal component is formulated in terms of neurobiologically plausible dynamics. Following an intuitive description of the model, we discuss six recent studies, which use DCM to analyze M/EEG and local field potentials. These studies illustrate how DCM can be used to analyze evoked responses (average response in time), induced responses (average response in time-frequency), and steady-state responses (average response in frequency). Bayesian model comparison plays a critical role in these analyses, by allowing one to compare equally plausible models in terms of their model evidence. This approach might be very useful in M/EEG research; where correlations among spatial and neuronal model parameter estimates can cause uncertainty about which model best explains the data. Bayesian model comparison resolves these uncertainties in a principled and formal way. We suggest that DCM and Bayesian model comparison provides a useful way to test hypotheses about distributed processing in the brain, using electromagnetic data.

Dynamic causal modelling of evoked responses in EEG/MEG with lead field parameterization.
Dynamical causal modeling (DCM) of evoked responses is a new approach to making inferences about connectivity changes in hierarchical networks measured with electro- and magnetoencephalography (EEG and MEG). In a previous paper, we illustrated this concept using a lead field that was specified with infinite prior precision. With this prior, the spatial expression of each source area, in the sen...
متن کاملNeural Field Dynamics on the Folded Three-Dimensional Cortical Sheet and Its Forward EEG and MEG
Dynamic systems defined on the scale of neural ensembles are well-suited to model the spatiotemporal dynamics of electroencephalographic (EEG) and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data. We develop a methodological framework, which defines the activity of neural ensembles, the neural field, on a sphere in three dimensions. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) we map the neural field dynamics from...
متن کاملDifference-Based Causal Models: Bridging the gap between Granger causality and DCMs
In recent years, the study of causality in the brain, or effective connectivity, has become increasingly important in the field of computational neuroscience. Neuroimaging modalities such as EEG, fMRI and MEG provide an immense and rich source of data. Causal analysis has the potential to help make sense of this complex data, and provide important insights about the neural basis of cognition. T...
