New paper out in Journal of Neural Engineering.
We tested effective connectivity metrics against simulated brain networks with known ground truth.
Takeaway: if brain communication has time delays, zero-lag methods can fail. Metric choice matters.

This is the future. The reality of biological #psychiatry. We listen to the patient, create a personalized map of their brain, use algorithms to disrupt stuck networks, and adapt the stimulation over time while continuing our quest to understand those networks. @umnneurosurgery
