Description

Dear all,

at the lab, we are developing a set of functions for directed functional connectivity analysis in the time-domain. These measures are complementary to the frequency-domain metrics, which are already present in mne.connectivity.spectral_connectivity

The list of metrics will not be exhaustive, but we would like to have simple measures to be accessible from MNE. These may include covariance-based Granger causality, Transfer Entropy.

Has anyone already started a similar project in MNE or digging into this issue?

What is your feeling about a similar project? Would a mne.connectivity.temporal_connectivity function be worth the effort?

Thanks for your comments and help

Andrea

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing mne.connectivity.spectral_connectivity entry point and the issue discussion. The proposed work has no agreed metric list or implementation scope; it would need a decided set of temporal connectivity measures and a defined temporal_connectivity API before completion can be judged.
