Project Title - Retinotopic maps in MNI space

Much of the visual cortex is organized into visual field maps: nearby neurons have receptive fields at nearby locations in the image. These maps are usually identified in individual subjects. The precise location of each map may be different in different brains. For this project, we asked how the quality of the maps would compare using (a) standard retinoptic methods on individual brains or (b) group-averaged brains projected into MNI space.
