stimupy.stimuli.todorovics.rectangle_generalized(visual_size=None, ppd=None, shape=None, target_size=None, target_position=None, covers_size=None, covers_x=None, covers_y=None, intensity_background=0.0, intensity_target=0.5, intensity_covers=1.0)#

Rectangular target and rectangular covers added with flexible number of covers and flexible target and cover placement

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

  • target_size (float or (float, float)) – size of the target in degrees of visual angle (height, width)

  • target_position (float or (float, float)) – coordinates where to place the target

  • covers_size (float or (float, float)) – size of the covers in degrees of visual angle (height, width)

  • covers_x (tuple of floats) – x coordinates of covers; as many covers as there are coordinates

  • covers_y (tuple of floats) – y coordinates of covers; as many covers as there are coordinates

  • intensity_background (float) – intensity value for background

  • intensity_target (float) – intensity value for target

  • intensity_covers (Sequence[Number, ...] or Number) – 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]
