A collection of pRF scripts. The code was used for the pRF-mapping in:

Ekman, Roelfsema & de Lange (in prep). Automatic spread of the attentional field from a spatial cue to an underlying object in primary visual cortex.
Matlab scripts originally developed by Dumoulin & Wandell 2008 NeuroImage.
Please note that these scripts were written in 2013 and a newer version is available here. If you're starting from scratch, that might be is a better place to look.
- the stimulus scripts require Matlab (tested with matlab2011b) and Psychtoolbox3.
- start the menu with
run('ret_initialise.m')
. - choose "Translating Bars 8 pass (Dumoulin)" and load your scanner calibration (e.g. "Siemens Skyra"). Note that you can create your own calibration; have a look at
/MRstim/Displays/Skyra/displayParams.m
for an example. - stimulus presentation will start with the first MRI trigger.
We run 4 blocks (stimulation in each block is identical), but more blocks are always better.
The analysis is based on MrVista and requires SPM8; other SPM versions might work as well.
