Six problems for causal inference from fMRI
2010
NeuroImage
causal relations among activity in these regions (known as effective connectivity; Friston, 1994). ...
Neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI) data are increasingly used to attempt to identify not only brain regions of interest (ROIs) that are especially active during perception, cognition, and action, but also the qualitative ...

Neural Correlates of Causal Inferences in Discourse Understanding and Logical Problem-Solving: A Meta-Analysis Study
2021
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
These findings suggest that causal inferences in discourse understanding recruit distinct neural bases from those in logical problem-solving and rely more on semantic knowledge and social interaction experiences ...
However, these findings have been divergent, and how these types of inferences are related to causal inferences in logical problem-solving remains unclear. ...

fMRI connectivity, meaning and empiricism
2011
NeuroImage
(this issue) raise fundamental questions regarding the identification of functional networks using fMRI. ...
Estimating causality from standard fMRI cognitive experiments may then be an ill-posed problem because of lack of sufficient experimental control. ...
We are facing much more profound difficulties regarding the development of robust inference of causality from neuroimaging data. Roebroeck et al. (this issue) discuss this issue for fMRI. ...

A blind deconvolution approach to recover effective connectivity brain networks from resting state fMRI data
[article]
2012
arXiv
pre-print
For task-related fMRI, neural population dynamics can be captured by modeling signal dynamics with explicit exogenous inputs; for resting-state fMRI on the other hand, the absence of explicit inputs makes ...

A Bayesian method for inference of effective connectivity in brain networks for detecting the Mozart effect
2020
Computers in Biology and Medicine
Both methods are evaluated on simulation data, where the Bayesian method outperforms the Granger-causality analysis in the inference of connectivity graphs of dynamic networks, especially for short data ...
Next, we apply both methods to fMRI scans of 16 healthy subjects, who were scanned before and after the exposure to Mozart's sonata K448 at least 2 hours a day for 7 days. ...
