Abstract

BACKGROUND: Generative models of neuroimaging data, such as dynamic causal models (DCMs), are commonly used for inferring effective connectivity from individual subject data. Recently introduced "generative embedding" approaches have used DCM-based connectivity parameters for supervised classification of individual patients or to find unknown subgroups in heterogeneous groups using unsupervised clustering methods.
