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

Methods 101 5.3 Marking Visual Areas Once the atlas images that contain phase values have been deformed to match the correspond- ing measured images, the computed displacement fields are used to deform an atlas image that has annotations about the visual areas. This atlas image is called “ROIs image” (Figure 45). The regions of interests for the vis- ual areas are encoded as defined here: N] [1, M] [1, j) (i, V3d beyond , 70 V3v beyond , 60 V3v , 50 V2v , 40 V1 , 30 V2d , 20 V3d , 10 ´ Î " = ij A Equation 17: ROIs Images Figure 48: Undeformed ROIs image See text for details
