Meet us at VSS-2024, Florida

The fMRI-at team will be at the Vision Science Society conference in Florida from May 17th to 22nd, talking about our latest research on retinotopy. We’re excited to meet other researchers and chat about our work. Come join us for some interesting discussions about how our brains make sense of the world around us! See you there!

Eyes on the Brain

A new paper on artificial scotoma estimation using population Receptive Field (pRF) mapping has been recently published in Neuroimage by our group.

We were able to correctly estimate small central scotoma (2.35° visual angle) on a single subject basis based on fMRI data.

Investigating effects on the retinotopic map caused by artificial scotoma will help to interpret changes observed in patient populations suffering from macular degeneration and macular holes.
