Functional vs Effective Connectivity Functional connectivity is defined in terms of statistical dependencies, it is an operational concept that underlies the detection of (inference about) a functional connection, without any commitment to how that connection was caused - Assessing mutual information & testing for significant departures from zero - Simple assessment: patterns of correlations - Undirected or Directed Functional Connectivity eg. Granger Connectivity Effective connectivity is defined at the level of hidden neuronal states generating measurements. Effective connectivity is always directed and rests on an explicit (parameterised) model of causal influences — usually expressed in terms of difference (discrete time) or differential (continuous time) equations. - Eg. DCM - causality is inherent in the form of the model ie. fluctuations in hidden neuronal states cause changes in others: for example, changes in postsynaptic potentials in one area are caused by inputs from other areas.

Basics of DCM: Neuronal and BOLD level y • Cognitive system is modelled at its underlying neuronal level (not directly accessible for f. MRI). • The modelled neuronal dynamics (x) are transformed into area-specific BOLD signals (y) by a hemodynamic model (λ). λ • Overcoming Regional variability of the haemodynamic response • x ie DCM not based on temporal precedence at the measurement level
Basics of DCM: Neuronal and BOLD level y λ x “Connectivity analysis applied directly on f. MRI signals failed because hemodynamics varied between regions, rendering termporal precedence irrelevant” …. The neural driver was identified using DCM, where these effects are accounted for…

DCM is a Bayesian approach new data posterior prior knowledge likelihood ∙ prior Bayes theorem allows one to formally incorporate prior knowledge into computing statistical probabilities. In DCM: empirical, principled & shrinkage priors. The “posterior” probability of the parameters given the data is an optimal combination of prior knowledge and new data, weighted by their relative precision.
Overview: parameter estimation • Combining the neural and hemodynamic states gives the complete forward model. • An observation model includes measurement error e and confounds X (e. g. drift). • Bayesian inversion: parameter estimation by means of variational EM under Laplace approximation • Result: Gaussian a posteriori parameter distributions, characterised by mean ηθ|y and covariance Cθ|y. stimulus function u neural state equation parameters hidden states state equation ηθ|y modelled BOLD response observation model
VB in a nutshell (mean-field approximation) Neg. free-energy approx. to model evidence. Mean field approx. Maximise neg. free energy wrt. q = minimise divergence, by maximising variational energies Iterative updating of sufficient statistics of approx. posteriors by gradient ascent.
Bayesian Inversion Specify generative forward model (with prior distributions of parameters) Regional responses Variational Expectation-Maximization algorithm Iterative procedure: 1. 2. 3. Compute model response using current set of parameters Compare model response with data Improve parameters, if possible 1. Posterior distributions of parameters 2. Model evidence
Inference about DCM parameters: Bayesian single-subject analysis • Gaussian assumptions about the posterior distributions of the parameters • posterior probability that a certain parameter (or contrast of parameters) is above a chosen threshold γ: • By default, γ is chosen as zero – the prior ("does the effect exist? ").
Inference about DCM parameters: Bayesian parameter averaging (FFX group analysis) Likelihood distributions from different subjects are independent group posterior covariance group posterior mean Under Gaussian assumptions this is easy to compute: individual posterior covariances and means
Inference about DCM parameters: RFX group analysis (frequentist) • In analogy to “random effects” analyses in SPM, 2 nd level analyses can be applied to DCM parameters: Separate fitting of identical models for each subject Selection of parameters of interest one-sample t-test: parameter > 0 ? paired t-test: parameter 1 > parameter 2 ? rm. ANOVA: e. g. in case of multiple sessions per subject
Inference about Model Architecture, Bayesian Model Selection Model evidence: Approximation: Free Energy accounts for both accuracy and complexity of the model allows for inference about structure (generalisability) of the model Fixed Effects Model selection via Random Effects Model selection log Group Bayes factor: via Model probability:

The evolution of DCM in SPM • DCM is not one specific model, but a framework for Bayesian inversion of dynamic system models • The default implementation in SPM is evolving over time – better numerical routines for inversion – change in priors to cover new variants (e. g. , stochastic DCMs, endogenous DCMs etc. ) To enable replication of your results, you should ideally state which SPM version you are using when publishing papers.
GLM vs. DCM tries to model the same phenomena (i. e. local BOLD responses) as a GLM, just in a different way (via connectivity and its modulation). No activation detected by a GLM → no motivation to include this region in a deterministic DCM. However, a stochastic DCM could be applied despite the absence of a local activation. Stephan 2004, J.
