This is a Mathematica package for analyzing retinotopic mapping data collected in the classical method: handmapped receptive fields drawn on a spherical screen. The package performs basic geometrical calculations based on spherical coordinates, and allows the researchers to explore the dataset easily. My colleagues and I have used this package to generate figures in a number of publications.

The stylistic elements in Topy is flexity. You can visualize your data in many different ways:
- Move the
Topy
to a place that Mathematica can find, such as~/Library/Mathematica/Applications
- Consult one of the scripts in
