Novel Methods for the Visualization and Analysis of Functional Maps in Cortex

Methods 96 5.2.10 Elastic Matching During the final stages of this project, Prof. Dr. Bernd Fischer, a professor of numerical analy- sis at the Medical University of Luebeck in Germany, used measured phase-wedge data and Phase in radians distance in flat map distance in flat map Start End Phase in radians Start End Figure 46: Phase-wedge images and image profiles The left phase image (top) is a phase-wedge atlas image. The image below is the corre- sponding image profile, i.e., phase values along the line that was specified in the phase image (see line in top image); The top right image is a measured phase-wedge image. Below, the corresponding image profile is given. Note the similarity between the two image profiles. Ideally, the phases from V3v to V3d would be: /2 " " /2 " 3 /2 " " 3 /2. This sequence can be seen very easily in the left image profile, but to some extent also in the right one.
