The23 proposed SSCM does coverthe case of non-zero variance, but currently the identifiability proof is only shown in a24 specific case. Inour simulations under non-zero variance settings, we neverobserved that the procedure converged25 to wrong solutions, suggesting that the non-zero-variance case is also identifiable. For the fMRI and cellular data, the null hypothesis was rejected at significance level 0.01. Regarding causal28 structure variation, for fMRI data, it is well-known that neural connectivities may change across different external29 stimuliorintrinsicstates. Forcellular32 data, causal structure may be different across conditions/interventions.(0)Theyare different.
