Key fields within the Matlab structure representing a pRF model

Field Description
M.pE Prior mean (expectation) of each parameter
M.pC Prior covariance of the parameters
M.IS Name of the pRF model function to use
Y.y Matrix of timeseries data against which to estimate the model
xY.XYZmm Coordinates (mm) of each timeseries in the brain
U [1 x T] structure representing the T stimuli displayed during scanning, including onsets, durations and coordinates of stimulated pixels
Ep Estimated parameters for each voxel
Cp Estimated covariance of the parameters for each voxel
Eh Estimated log precision of the noise
F Variational free energy (approximate evidence) of the model for each voxel
