Manipulation model
Table of contents
Introduction
The manipulation model describes temporal manipulations performed in a session. Manipulations are ways to perturb natural brain dynamics. The types of manipulations currently supported by BrainSTEM are listed below. A Manipulation is described by the fields in the next section.
