Dear Martin, Perhaps the best things to read are papers on Pyscho-Physiological Interactions: http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/doc/biblio/Keyword/PPI.html (the 2nd reference to start) and Dynamic Causal Modelling: http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/doc/biblio/Keyword/DCM.html PPIs show you how a task changes the connectivity between two regions and DCM does the same for a set of regions. You can also try the methods on an example data set: http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/~wpenny/datasets/attention.html Best, Will.
