This paper explores the commonalities and differences in effective connectivity within and between groups using Bayesian model reduction. It investigates the predictive power of different connections and group differences on connectivity.

Bayesian Model Reduction for Group Studies Peter Zeidman
Questions • What are the commonalities in effective connectivity across subjects within a group? • What are the differences in effective connectivity between groups? • Which combination of connections best predicts a group difference (or covariate)? • Which combination of group differences (or covariates) are most predictive of the connectivity?
