Background:

Effective connectivity analysis is crucial for understanding brain function.
Current methods for inferring effective connectivity from resting-state fMRI have limitations.
Integrating multi-modal data can improve the accuracy of connectivity inference.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a multi-subject vector autoregressive (VAR) modeling approach for effective connectivity inference.
To enable simultaneous subject- and group-level inference on effective connectivity.
To incorporate structural imaging information into the model to enhance connectivity inference.

Main Methods:

A Bayesian variable selection approach was employed within a multi-subject VAR framework.
Structural imaging data was integrated into the prior model to guide effective connectivity.
The method was validated using simulation studies and applied to temporal lobe epilepsy data.

Main Results:

The proposed approach demonstrated improved inference of effective connectivity at both subject- and group-levels compared to existing methods.
Simulations confirmed the enhanced accuracy and robustness of the Bayesian VAR model.
Application to temporal lobe epilepsy data illustrated the method's practical utility.

Conclusions:

The multi-subject Bayesian VAR modeling approach offers a powerful tool for effective connectivity analysis.
Integrating structural information improves the reliability of resting-state fMRI-based connectivity inference.
This method advances the understanding of brain networks in neurological conditions.
