Table 1: Mixed-effects model identifies strong effects of anatomical features on single-voxel fMRI responses.
Weight estimates for delay, amplitude and specificity, for different stimulus frequencies as a function of cortical depth, position in V1, vascular compartment. Values in brackets represent 95% CI. (All temporal specificity values and gradients are multiplied by 100 for clarity.)
