Encoding schemes are systematic large-scale arrangements that convert incoming sensory
information into a format required for further information processing. The increased spatial …

Population receptive field (pRF) modeling is a popular fMRI method to map the retinotopic
organization of the human brain. While fMRI-based pRF maps are qualitatively similar to …

Multiple studies have demonstrated finger somatotopy in humans and other primates using
a variety of brain mapping techniques including functional magnetic resonance imaging …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to estimate neuronal activity in the
primary somatosensory cortex of six participants undergoing cutaneous tactile stimulation on …

Previous studies showed reorganised and/or altered activity in the primary sensorimotor
cortex after a spinal cord injury (SCI), suggested to reflect abnormal processing. However …

The functional topography of the human primary somatosensory cortex hand area is a
widely studied model system to understand sensory organization and plasticity. It is so far …

Several neuroimaging studies have shown the somatotopy of body part representations in
primary somatosensory cortex (S1), but the functional hierarchy of distinct subregions in …

In functional MRI (fMRI), population receptive field (pRF) models allow a quantitative
description of the response as a function of the features of the stimuli that are relevant for …

This article details a scheme for approximate Bayesian inference, which has underpinned
thousands of neuroimaging studies since its introduction 15 years ago. Variational Laplace …

Sensory information is processed in the visual cortex in distinct streams of different
anatomical and functional properties. A comparable organizational principle has also been …
