<div dir="ltr">Some of us noticed a paper published recently that claimed that effective connectivity measures between scalp EEG channels suffer no ill effects of volume conduction -- and immediately questioned its conclusions! Clement Brunner of Graz mounted an effort to publish a rebuttal in the same journal, which has now appeared:<div><br></div><div><font color="#000000"><font style="font-family:helvetica,sans-serif,ariel;text-align:justify;background-color:rgb(255,255,238)">C.
