Localizing and Estimating Causal Relations of Interacting Brain Rhythms
Estimating brain connectivity and especially causality between different brain regions from EEG or MEG is limited by the fact that the data are a largely unknown superposition of the actual brain activities. Any method, which is not robust to mixing artifacts, is prone to yield false positive results. We here review a number of methods that allow for addressing this problem. They are all based ...
متن کاملLearning of causal relations
To learn about causal relations between variables just by observing samples from them, particular assumptions must be made about those variables’ distributions. This article gives a practical description of how such a learning task can be undertaken based on different possible assumptions. Two categories of assumptions lead to different methods, constraint-based and Bayesian learning, and in ea...
متن کاملVisualization of Causal Relations
The notion of cause and effect is pervasive in human thinking and plays a significant role in our perception of time. Software systems, in particular parallel and distributed ones, are permeated by this causality, and the human mind is especially well-suited to detect instances of this concept. Unfortunately, realworld systems of causally related events are often too large and complex to be com...
متن کاملDiscovering Causal Relations by Experimentation: Causal Trees
The Controlled Lesion Method (CLM) is a set of principles for inferring the causal structure of deterministic mechanisms by experimentation. CLM formulates an important part of the common-sense logic of causation and experimentation. Previous work showed that CLM could be used to discover the structure of deterministic chains of binary variables more accurately than statistical methods; however...
متن کاملInferring deterministic causal relations
We consider two variables that are related to each other by an invertible function. While it has previously been shown that the dependence structure of the noise can provide hints to determine which of the two variables is the cause, we presently show that even in the deterministic (noise-free) case, there are asymmetries that can be exploited for causal inference. Our method is based on the id...
