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 |
