mrVista - Population Receptive Field Mapping Workshop

Hi All, ​I'd like to gather expressions of interest for those those who would be interested in attending a 'MrVista - Population Receptive Field Mapping' workshop at YNiC. For those of you not familiar with mrVista, it is a MATLAB interface for analysing functional and anatomical MRI data, based on the Vistasoft toolbox developed by Stanford University, whilst population receptive field (pRF) mapping is a form of retinotopic mapping, where we compute a model of pRFs and visual field maps within the visual cortex (Dumoulin, S. O., & Wandell, B. A. (2008). Population receptive field estimates in human visual cortex. *NeuroImage*, *39*(2), 647–660. https://www.ncbi.nlm. nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3073038/). The aim of the workshop is to familiarise yourself with fMRI analysis using mrVista and learn how to conduct visual field mapping using the pRF method - including data collection/running stimuli, structural processing and segmentation, pre-processing, running the model, localising visual field maps, and plotting data. ​The workshop will run over 3 days at YNiC open plan and each session will cover both theory and practical. All required data and software will be supplied. Dates scheduled are: *Monday 31st July* 9:30am - 5pm *Tuesday 1st August* 9:30am - 5pm *Monday 7th August* 9:30am - 5pm Please let me know if you are interested in attending or have any questions. Thanks. Best, Marc -- Marc Himmelberg PhD Student | ESR within NextGenVis ITN PS/C018, Department of Psychology University of York York, YO10 5DD UK
