From: Downstream network transformations dissociate neural activity from causal functional contributions

Intuition behind the notion of causal contribution. (A) The hypothetical performance score given multiple arrangements of the orchestra. The intact configuration has the highest value while removing the conductor produces the largest deficit. (B) The hypothetical orchestra in which some members have similar contributions, e.g., the string ensemble while others have distinct contributions given their role in the performed piece. (C) Hypothetical assignment of contributions to each member given counterfactual scenarios where they were excluded from the orchestra. (D) The hypothetical scenario where a member could have a significant contribution during a limited time period, e.g., by performing a short solo piece.
