It is shown how to compute effective and functional connection matrices (eCMs and fCMs) from anatomical CMs (aCMs) and corresponding strength-of-connection matrices (sCMs) using propagator methods in which neural interactions play the role of scatterings. This analysis demonstrates how network effec...
