Optimize hemodynamic response function parameters.
A free & open source package for finding best-fitting hemodynamic response function (HRF) parameters for fMRI data. Optimization takes place within the framework of population receptive field (pRF) parameters.
The fitting process requires, for every voxel of fMRI data, optimized pRF parameters. These can be obtained using pyprf_feature.
Installation
For installation, follow these steps:
(Optional) Create conda environment
conda create -n env_hrf_opt python=2.7
source activate env_hrf_opt
conda install pipClone repository
git clone https://github.com/MSchnei/hrf_opt.gitInstall hrf_opt with pip
pip install /path/to/cloned/hrf_optHow to use
1. Run pyprf_feature to obtain an initial guess of the pRF parameters
See here for more information on how to use pyprf_feature. In brief, open a terminal and run:
pyprf_feature -config path/to/custom_pRF_config.csv
2. Obtain model responses for every voxel for best-fitting pRF model
When pyprf_feature is done, run it again with -save_tc and -mdl_rsp flag. This will save the fitted pRF model time courses and corresponding neural responses to disk:
pyprf_feature -config path/to/custom_pRF_config.csv -save_tc -mdl_rsp
3. Adjust the csv file for hrf_opt
Adjust the information in the config_default.csv file in the hrf_opt folder, such that the provided information is correct. It is recommended to make a specific copy of the csv file for every subject.
4. Run hrf_opt
Open a terminal and run:
hrf_opt -config path/to/custom_hrf_opt_config.csv
