          We use ultra-high field (7 Tesla) fMRI to assess 
						orientation mapping in dorsal and ventral visual areas 
						(V1, V2, V3). Within visual areas, the phase value of 
						orientation maps are compared with those of 
						angular-position from retinotopic maps, and are shown to 
						display a high correlation (P<0.0001). Repeatability is 
						shown to be high for both retinotopic and orientation 
						maps. BOLD CNR is assessed as a function of number of 
						repeat scans of orientation maps, with CNR being a 
						factor of ~4 lower for orientation maps compared to 
						retinotopic maps.
