%__________________________________________________________________________
%
% This implementation of DEM is the same as spm_DEM but integrates both the
% generative and inversion models in parallel. Its functionality is exactly
% the same apart from the fact that confounds are not accommodated
% explicitly.  The generative model is specified by DEM.G and the veridical
% causes by DEM.C; these may or may not be used as priors on the causes for
% the inversion model DEM.M (i.e., DEM.U = DEM.C).  Clearly, DEM.G does not
% require any priors or precision components; it will use the values of the
% parameters specified in the prior expectation fields.
%
% This routine is not used for model inversion per se but to simulate the
% dynamical inversion of models.  Critically, it includes action 
% variables a that couple the model back to the generative process 
% This enables active inverse (c.f., action-perception; see also spm_GDEM)

%
% spm_DEM implements a variational Bayes (VB) scheme under the Laplace
% approximation to the conditional densities of states (u), parameters (p)
% and hyperparameters (h) of any analytic nonlinear hierarchical dynamic
% model, with additive Gaussian innovations.  It comprises three
% variational steps (D,E and M) that update the conditional moments of u, p
% and h respectively
%
%                D: qu.u = max <L>q(p,h)
%                E: qp.p = max <L>q(u,h)
%                M: qh.h = max <L>q(u,p)
%
% where qu.u corresponds to the conditional expectation of hidden states x
% and causal states v and so on.  L is the ln p(y,u,p,h|M) under the model
% M. The conditional covariances obtain analytically from the curvature of
% L with respect to u, p and h.
%
% The D-step is embedded in the E-step because q(u) changes with each
% sequential observation.  The dynamical model is transformed into a static
% model using temporal derivatives at each time point.  Continuity of the
% conditional trajectories q(u,t) is assured by a continuous ascent of F(t)
% in generalised co-ordinates.  This means DEM can deconvolve online and 
% represents an alternative to Kalman filtering or alternative Bayesian
% update procedures.
