Efficient Population Receptive Field Estimation with qPRF

qPRF is a software that enables neuroscientists to rapidly decode functional MRI as it corresponds to visual stimulation.
Technology No. LU02-04

qPRF is a modeling framework that provides estimates of neural populations’ receptive fields with exceptional time efficiency.

The population receptive field model is the standard model in retinotopic mapping for decoding functional MRI. Whereas other software packages fit the model within days, qPRF fits the model within minutes at no loss of precision. It removes barriers to entry for researchers who would otherwise be limited by computational resources and unlocks new scientific and clinical applications.
