Updated on the 🧠#brain effective connectivity library.
1. Added #Reservoircomputing causality as nonlinear #Granger:
github.com/alecrimi/eff...
2. Now labels on to the nodes
3. Added directionality shown with colors from blue to white (white as the arrows)

"Allostasis is predictive regulation, distinguished from the concept of homeostasis, which involves reactive regulation to perturbations that return a system back to an optimal set point."
The brain primary job isn’t to think but to regulate
