Hi,
I am examining the affect a metal artifact has on fMRI data, and I am using Eccentricity mapping with the retinotopy analysis in FSFast. I was recently asked to switch from examining the difference in the fsig to examining the difference in the betas. I opened up beta.nii.gz and I can see that it has a size of:
1 #of vertices 1 39
Can you explain to me, how I figure out where each of the 39 come from (and possibly point me to which of these might be appropriate to use?)?
Thank You, Dan
The first 12 regressors are 1 and 2: fundamental real (cosine), fundamental imaginary (sine) 3 and 4: 1st harmonic real and imag 5 and 6: real and imag at a freq just below the fundamental 7 and 8: real and imag at a freq just above the fundamental 9 and 10: real and imag at a freq just below the 1st harmonic 11 and 12: real and imag at a freq just above the 1st harmonic
The rest are the betas are for nuisance variables

Hi Doug,
Thanks for your response. How do I tell which refer to the eccentricity and which refer to the polar maps? I am looking for which betas are used for generating the fsig for the eccentricity maps only.
Thanks! Dan

The first 12 are eccen and the second 12 are polar. Just the fundamentals of the real and imag components are used in the fsig. doug
