This repository contains code to compute binned Fourier power. This code was originally developed for Lescroart, Stansbury, & Gallant (2015), and was also used in Lescroart & Gallant (2018). It was inspired by, and meant to compute similar features to, the features described in Rajimehr et al (2011) and Nasr & Tootell (2012).
The features can be used as the basis for encoding models or other image analyses.
