The descending projections from motor cortex share many features with top-down or
backward connections in visual cortex; for example, corticospinal projections originate in …

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) studies have become increasingly popular
both with clinicians and researchers as they are capable of providing unique insights into …

This chapter focuses on the imaging (or distributed) method for implementing EEG/MEG
source reconstruction in SPM. This approach results in a spatial projection of sensor data …

This paper revisits the dynamic causal modelling of fMRI timeseries by replacing the usual
(Taylor) approximation to neuronal dynamics with a neural mass model of the canonical …

Brain graphs provide a relatively simple and increasingly popular way of modeling the
human brain connectome, using graph theory to abstractly define a nervous system as a set …

This article concerns the nature of evoked brain responses and the principles underlying
their generation. We start with the premise that the sensory brain has evolved to represent or …

In an age where the amount of data collected from brain imaging is increasing constantly, it
is of critical importance to analyse those data within an accepted framework to ensure …

In this paper we present an approach to the identification of nonlinear input–state–output
systems. By using a bilinear approximation to the dynamics of interactions among states, the …

The emergence of a unified cognitive moment relies on the coordination of scattered
mosaics of functionally specialized brain regions. Here we review the mechanisms of large …

Classical theories of sensory processing view the brain as a passive, stimulus-driven device.
By contrast, more recent approaches emphasize the constructive nature of perception …
