Dynamic Causal Modelling of Evoked Responses in EEG/MEG

This study explores principles of functional segregation and integration in the brain using EEG/MEG data. It investigates the power of signal and source localization, as well as the interactions between distant brain areas. The study focuses on EEG/MEG signals and their interactions with neuronal activity, current density, and effective connectivity. The Jansen's model for cortical area and spatial forward modelling techniques are used to estimate ERP/ERF parameters and solve for brain sources.

  21. Spherical model Idea: Each area is spatially modelled by one equivalent current dipole. Advantages of spherical model: • Analytic solution (fast) • Easy to use • Good model for MEG (said to be less so for EEG) • Easy to parameterise • Seems to explains data well for early to medium latencies Spatial parameters

  33. Conclusions Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM) for EEG/MEG is physiologically grounded model. Context-induced differences in ERPs are modelled as modulation of connectivity between areas. Spherical head model is useful spatial model. DCM can alternatively be seen as source reconstruction device with temporal constraints.
