Dear Klaas and DCMers,
I
used the DCM to provide an insight into connectivities among some interesting
regions. The modulatory effects of two conditions were described in the
attached picture. A solid lines indicated the modulatory effect on the connection
was significant, whereas a dotted line indicated the modulatory effect on the
connection wasn’t significant (according to one sample t test). Figures
gave out parameters of modulatory effects.
According
to my coarse interpretation, the modulatory effect of condition one (above)
reduces the connectivity among three regions compared to the intrinsic
connectivity, whereas the modulatory effect of condition two (below) retains
the connectivity among three regions.
I
am not confident in my interpretation. Because papers I read before always reported
positive parameters. However, my results included many negative parameters and non-significant
parameters. Does that mean my results are very bad? Is there any means of
redress?
Best
Wishes!
