Abstract
The original model of the geometry of human primary visual cortex (V1) was the complex log polar model. However, this model predicts a foveal meridional anisotropy that is not observed in human fMRI data. The same anisotropy predicted by the later Schwartz complex log dipole model is corrected by the parametric shear model of human V1. The extension of these analyses to the higher retinotopic regions V2-3 using a wedge-dipole concept reveals further distortions in the foveal mapping, which we have corrected with a banded double sech model, providing a much better match to human retinotopic mapping data.
