fMRI localizers for visual motion

Running this script will show blocks of motion dots and static dots. Motion blocks will show:

• dots moving in one of four directions (up-, down-, left-, and right-ward) (MT+ localizer)
• or dots moving inward and outward in the peripheral of the screen (MT/MST localizer).

Requirements

Make sure that the following toolboxes are installed and added to the matlab / octave path. See the next section on how to install the submodule toolboxes.

For instructions see the following links:

Requirements	Used version
CPP_BIDS (submodule)	2.1.1
CPP_PTB (submodule)	1.2.1
PsychToolBox	>=3.0.14
Matlab	>=2017
or octave	>=4.?

Installation

The CPP_BIDS and CPP_PTB dependencies are already set up as submodules to this repository. You can install it all with git by doing.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/cpp-lln-lab/localizer_visual_motion.git

Set up and running

In the main.m script, you are meant

• to set your configuration (cfg)
• call initEnv() to add the relevant folders to the MATLAB path
• call cfg = checkParameters(cfg) to set up any default configuration you did not set.
• call visualMotionLocalizer(cfg) to run the localizer.

The minimalist script would thus look like:

clc;
clear;

%% Run MT+ localizer

cfg.design.localizer = 'MT';
initEnv();

cfg = checkParameters(cfg);

% Run
visualMotionLocalizer(cfg);

Type help checkParameters and see the README in docs to get more information about the configuration options.

Run in debug mode (set cfg.debug.do = true) it does not care about subjID, run n., Eye Tracker...
