Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Brain dynamic effective connectivity (dEC), characterizes the information transmission patterns between brain regions that change over time, which provides insight into the biological mechanism underlying brain development. However, most existing methods predominantly capture fixed or temporally invariant EC, leaving dEC largely unexplored.
