This tutorial walks participants through the application of dynamic causal modelling (DCM) to fMRI data using MATLAB. Participants are also shown various forms of DCM, how to generate and specify different models, and how to fit them to simulated neural and BOLD data.

 

This lesson corresponds to slides 158-187 of the PDF below. 

Difficulty level: Advanced
Duration: 1:22:10

This lesson explores how researchers try to understand neural networks, particularly in the case of observing neural activity.
