Hemodynamic modelling improves population receptive field estimates

This paper shows that fitting the hemodynamic response function concurrently with population receptive field models improves accuracy and reveals variability in HRFs that can affect pRF estimates.

Spatial frequency adaptation modulates population receptive field sizes

The paper investigates how spatial frequency adaptation affects population receptive field sizes in the visual cortex using fMRI and psychophysical methods, finding that adaptation to low/high SF reduces/increases pRF sizes.

Retinotopic mapping data permit accurate matching of participants across different datasets

The paper demonstrates that retinotopic mapping data can accurately match participants across different fMRI datasets despite spatial warping.

Internal noise measures in coarse and fine motion direction discrimination tasks, and the correlation with autism traits

The paper investigates internal noise in motion direction discrimination tasks and finds higher internal noise in individuals with high ASD traits only for coarse tasks, with no significant correlations in fine tasks.

Balanced, Orientation-Dependent Dichoptic Masking in Cortex of Visually Normal Humans Measured Using Electroencephalography (EEG)

The paper measures interocular suppression in visually normal humans using EEG, finding it is balanced, orientation-tuned, and reduced for orthogonal gratings.

A comparison of tests for quantifying sensory eye dominance

The paper compares methods to quantify sensory eye dominance and finds a contrast-polarity judgment test is reliable and valid for clinical use.
