Abstract: A real-time population receptive field mapping procedure based on gradient descent is proposed. Model-free receptive fields produced by the algorithm are evaluated in context of simulated data exhibiting different levels of temporally autocorrelated noise and spatial point spread. As with any model-free approach, the exact shape of receptive fields produced by the real-time algorithm depends on the stimulus. Nevertheless, estimated receptive fields show good correspondence with ground-truth receptive fields in terms of both position and size. Furthermore, fitting a parametric model to the previously obtained estimates approximates the exact shape of the true underlying receptive fields well.
