The phrase "a topographic representation of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing a visual depiction of the physical features of a landscape, such as elevation, terrain, and other geographical elements.
Example: "The map provided a topographic representation of the mountainous region, highlighting the various peaks and valleys."
Alternatives: "a geographical depiction of" or "a terrain illustration of".
Electrophysiological recordings have indicated a topographic representation of visual space in both, the pigeon [36] [40] and the zebra finch [41], but high resolution information is lacking.
We investigated these alternative hypotheses in the barn owl, Tyto alba, an auditory predator whose sound localization is guided by activity on a topographic representation of auditory space in the external nucleus of its inferior colliculus [ICx], [18,19].
This creates a topographic representation of the visual field in the superficial layers of the SC, also called retinotopy.
Primary auditory cortex is known to contain a topographic representation of frequency (referred to as "tonotopic map"; Formisano et al. 2003; Talavage et al. 2004).
The auditory cortex contains a tonotopic map; the visual cortex is retinotopically mapped; and the somatosensory cortex is mapped according to a topographic representation of the bodily surface.
Additionally, we generated a topographic representation of the t-values of oxy-Hb comparisons between the groups while the participants performed the Stroop color task.
By considering the different functional representations of the face [ 35], neck [ 36], shoulder [ 38], forearm [ 27, 34, 37, 38], hand [ 27, 35, 36, 38, 39], leg [ 34, 37], and foot [ 35, 39] in the midposterior insula, we conclude that the midposterior insula has a rough topographic representation of all parts of the human body.
EEGLab was used to produce a topographic representation and a current dipole reconstruction of the recorded EEG data.
If, in future experiments, one could demonstrate that a topographic representation at some place exists also at the lateral side of the lamina frontalis suprema, this would be an indicator in favour of the view presented by Medina and Reiner [68].
PCA is a variance-preserving linear projection, and this limitation does not lead to a topographic representation [ 13].
Here we demonstrate for the first time a systematic and topographic representation of amplitude modulation rate in the auditory cortex of non-human primates.
