% Thi is the stimulus parameter file for retinotopy.

% ************************************************************

% "sparam" means "stimulus generation parameters"

%%% stimulus parameters
sparam.nwedges     = 4;   % number of wedge subdivisions along polar angle
sparam.nrings      = 8;   % number of ring subdivisions along eccentricity angle
sparam.width       = 24;  % wedge width in deg along polar angle
sparam.phase       = 0;   % phase shift in deg

sparam.maxRad      = 7.5; % maximum radius of  annulus (degrees)
sparam.minRad      = 0;   % minumum

sparam.dimratio    = 0.4; % luminance dim ratio for the checker-pattern change detection task

% checkerboard colors, this variable is only for c* stimulus presentation scripts (e.g. cretinotopy)
sparam.colors      = [ 128, 128, 128; % number of colors for compensating flickering checkerboard
                       255,   0,   0; % the first row is background
                         0, 255,   0; % the second to end are patch colors
                       255, 255,   0;
                         0,   0, 255;
                       255,   0, 255;

                         0,   0,   0;
                       255, 128,   0;
                       128,   0, 255;];

%%% RDS parameters, these are only for d* stimulus presentation scripts (e.g dretinotopy_fixtask)
sparam.RDSdepth = [ -12, 12, 5]; % binocular disparity in arcmins, [min, max, #steps(from min to max)]

sparam.RDStaskmagnitude=2; % ratio (x2, x3, etc against the sparam.RDSdepth([1,2])) of the depth maginitude in the change-detection task

%%% duration in msec for each cycle & repetitions
% Here, the stimulus presentation protocol is defined as below.
% initial_fixation_time(1) ---> block_duration-rest_duration (the wedge along the horizontal visual meridian) ---> rest_duration (blank) --->
%   block_duration-rest_duration (the wedge along the vertical) ---> rest_duration (blank) ---> block_duration-rest_duration (the wedge along the horizontal) --->
%     rest_duration (blank) ---> block_duration-rest_duration (the wedge along the vertical) ---> ... (repeated numRepeats in total) ---> initial_fixation_time(2)
% Therefore, one_stimulation_cycle = block_duration x 2 (note: in this period, stimulation = block_duration-rest_duration)

sparam.imRatio=[0.2,0.5]; % image magnification ratio, [min, max] (0.0-1.0), the image sizes are randomly selected whithin this range
sparam.imdepth=[-12,12]; % disparities (arcmins) added to the images, effective only in a stereo mode (e.g. shutter, dual, parallel etc)

%%% set number of frames to flip the screen
% Here, I set the number as large as I can to minimize vertical cynching error.
% the final 2 is for 2 times repetitions of the flicker
% Set 1 if you want to flip the display at each vertical sync, but not recommended as it uses much CPU power
%sparam.waitframes = Screen('FrameRate',0)*(sparam.block_duration/1000) / ((sparam.block_duration-sparam.rest_duration)/1000) / ( (size(sparam.colors,1)-1)*2 );
sparam.waitframes = 60*(sparam.block_duration/1000) / ((sparam.block_duration-sparam.rest_duration)/1000) / ( (size(sparam.colors,1)-1)*2 );

%%% fixation period in msec before/after presenting the target stimuli, integer
% must set a value more than 1 TR for initializing the frame counting.
sparam.initial_fixation_time=[4000,4000];

%%% fixation size & color
