Simulation and optimization of fMRI of cortical column patterns
Chaimow, D., Ugurbil, K., Shmuel, A., 2018. Optimization of functional MRI for detection, decoding and high-resolution imaging of the response patterns of cortical columns. Neuroimage. doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.04.011
This is a repository conatain a python and a MATLAB version of a toolbox based on MATLAB code that was used in the referenced study.
This code allows to simulate fMRI of cortical column patterns using different pattern and measurement parameters. It quantifies measures related to possible analysis objectives and approaches, and estimates optimal voxel widths.
For a python demo see Python/columnsfmri.ipynb. You can also run this jupyter notebook interactively by clicking on the 'launch binder' button at the top of the page.
For a matlab demo navigate to the MATLAB folder from inside MATLAB and
type showdemo columnsfmri or get more information by typing 'help(pwd)'.
