Human Connectome Project resting state fMRI data organized into 60 fine-scaled retinotopically organized regions in cortical areas V1, V2 and V3

The data comprises 60 regions of interest (ROIs) from V1, V2, and V3 of the human visual cortex. Preprocessed data from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) 900 subjects public data release were utilized: 220 subjects were randomly selected, each with 4 scans of resting state fMRI data. Given that these subjects did not have retinotopy scans performed, the visual areas were defined using an anatomical template from Benson et al. (2014). Visual areas from each hemisphere were further divided along dorsal-ventral lines into quadrants, resulting in 4 quadrants per subject. Within each quadrant, fine scaled ROIs were defined by subdividing each visual area into 5 regions according to eccentricity. These data may be useful for studying retinotopically organized functional connectivity in the visual cortex using the HCP 3 Tesla dataset.
