mvpa2.misc.surfing.volsurf.VolSurfMinimalMapping

class mvpa2.misc.surfing.volsurf.VolSurfMinimalMapping(vg, white, pial, intermediate=None, nsteps=10, start_fr=0.0, stop_fr=1.0, start_mm=0, stop_mm=0)

Represents the minimal mapping from nodes to voxels. ‘minimal’, in this context, means that the mapping from voxels to nodes is many-to-one (i.e. each voxel is associated with at most one node)

Each voxel can be associated with just a single node.

Parameters:

volgeom: volgeom.VolGeom :

Volume geometry

white: surf.Surface :

Surface representing white-grey matter boundary

pial: surf.Surface :

Surface representing pial-grey matter boundary

intermediate: surf.Surface (default: None). :

Surface representing intermediate surface. If omitted it is the node-wise average of white and pial.

nsteps: int (default: 10) :

Number of steps from white to pial surface

start_fr: float (default: 0) :

Relative start position of line in gray matter, 0.=white surface, 1.=pial surface.

stop_fr: float (default: 1) :

Relative stop position of line (as in see start).

start_mm: float (default: 0) :

Absolute start position offset (as in start_fr).

stop_mm: float (default: 0) :

Absolute start position offset (as in start_fr).

Notes

‘pial’ and ‘white’ should have the same topology.
