Dynamic causal models and autopoietic systems.
Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM) and the theory of autopoietic systems are two important conceptual frameworks. In this review, we suggest that they can be combined to answer important questions about self-organising systems like the brain. DCM has been developed recently by the neuroimaging community to explain, using biophysical models, the non-invasive brain imaging data are caused by neural p...
متن کاملComparing dynamic causal models.
This article describes the use of Bayes factors for comparing dynamic causal models (DCMs). DCMs are used to make inferences about effective connectivity from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. These inferences, however, are contingent upon assumptions about model structure, that is, the connectivity pattern between the regions included in the model. Given the current lack of de...
متن کاملComputing with Autopoietic Systems
Introduction. In 1973, in the middle of rather unfortunate political events, two Chilean biologists, Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, introduced the concept of Autopoietic systems (“auto”= self and ”poiesis” = generating or producing) as a theoretical construct on the nature of living systems centering on two main notions: the circular organization of metabolism and a redefinition of the...
متن کاملCausal Simulation and Diagnosis of Dynamic Systems
In this paper we discuss our experience in applying qualitative deviations modeling and causal relations to qualitative simulation and diagnosis of dynamic controlled systems. We adopt a layered modeling approach: Qualitative Deviations Equations with causal semantics as a high level model description language, suitable for system speciication, and Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) with t...
متن کاملDynamic causal models of steady-state responses
In this paper, we describe a dynamic causal model (DCM) of steady-state responses in electrophysiological data that are summarised in terms of their cross-spectral density. These spectral data-features are generated by a biologically plausible, neural-mass model of coupled electromagnetic sources; where each source comprises three sub-populations. Under linearity and stationarity assumptions, t...
