stimupy.stimuli.todorovics.equal(visual_size=None, ppd=None, shape=None, cross_size=None, cross_thickness=None, cover_size=None, intensity_background=0.0, intensity_target=0.5, intensity_covers=1.0)#

Cross target and four rectangular covers added at inner cross corners

Parameters:

  • visual_size (Sequence[Number, Number], Number, or None (default)) – visual size [height, width] of grating, in degrees

  • ppd (Sequence[Number, Number], Number, or None (default)) – pixels per degree [vertical, horizontal]

  • shape (Sequence[Number, Number], Number, or None (default)) – shape [height, width] of grating, in pixels

  • cross_size (float or (float, float)) – size of target cross in visual angle

  • cross_thickness (float or (float, float)) – thickness of target cross in visual angle

  • cover_size (float or (float, float)) – size of covers in visual angle

  • intensity_background (float) – intensity value for background

  • intensity_target (float) – intensity value for target

  • intensity_covers (float) – intensity value for covers

Returns:

dict with the stimulus (key: “img”), mask with integer index for the target (key: “target_mask”), and additional keys containing stimulus parameters

Return type:

dict[str, Any]
