title: Quantifying connectivity in a physiology based model using adaptive dynamic causal modelling.
abstract: This paper proposes an Adaptive Dynamic Causal Modelling based approach to detect and quantify effective connectivity in human brain structures injured by epileptic activities. The identification of the parameters in the physiology based model subtended the Electroencephalographic observations is performed by improving the optimization step in the Expectation Maximization algorithm. Considering unidirectional flow propagation, we show the efficiency of our proposed approach compared to the conventional technique.
