% DIPOLEDEMO compute and display monopole and dipole mapping of visual field % % DIPOLEDEMO builds a matrix of visual field positions in polar coordinates, % assembles a triangular mesh using these positions as vertices, then computes % transformations from the visual field to cortical coordinates via both the % monopole and dipole mappings (see Ref.s [1-3]). DIPOLEDEMO also visualizes % the two transformations by plotting the visual field mesh followed by the % mesh under the monopole mapping and the mesh under the dipole mapping. % % DIPOLEDEMO(K, A, B) computes the monopole and dipole mappings using the % global mapping parameters K, A, and B, rather than the default parameters of % K=15, A=0.5, and B=80. % % DIPOLEDEMO(K, A, B, ECC, NECC, NPOL) constructs the triangular mesh used for % the visual field, then monopole mapping, and the dipole mapping such that % the extent of the visual field is ECC degrees, and such that the mesh % vertices are laid out along NECC steps along eccentricity and NPOL steps % along polar angle, rather than with the default parameters of ECC=90, % NECC=20, and NPOL=22. % % [MESH, Z, W_MONOPOLE, W_DIPOLE] = DIPOLEDEMO(...) returns in MESH the matrix % representation of the triangular mesh used in the visualization as the data % structure produced by MATLAB's DELAUNAY function, i.e., MESH is a N-by-3 % matrix such that each row contains indices either into the (complex) % coordinate vector Z for the visual field, W_MONOPOLE for the cortical % coordinates under the monopole mapping, or W_DIPOLE for the cortical % coordinates under the dipole mapping, where N is the number of triangles. % % (This code produces plots identical to those appearing in Figure 1(a-c) % of Ref. [1].) % % See also DELAUNAY, TRIPLOT. % % % References: % =========== % % [1] Mukund Balasubramanian, Jonathan Polimeni, and Eric L. Schwartz.
