Individual statistical maps for hand-responsive and body-responsive voxels in experiment 1. The position of hand-selective voxels localized by comparing hands vs. whole bodies, body parts, and chairs (H > WB + BP + C, highlighted in yellow) and of body-selective voxels (extrastriate body area [EBA]) localized by comparing whole bodies and body parts vs. hands and chairs (WB + BP > H + C highlighted in red) in experiment 1 is shown in the clearest transversal slice of each participant. Averaged statistical maps (bottom right image) for the hand-responsive area within left lateral occipital sulcus (LOS) and the body-responsive area in right and left EBA are overlaid onto the slice of a single participant for clarity. As clearly shown, although the hand-related response in left LOS is mostly lateralized to the left (left LOS = 14/14 participants; right LOS = 6/14 participants), EBA is bilaterally represented (left and right EBA = 14/14). In addition, in most of the participants (11/14) left LOS is localized anterior to left EBA. L, left; R, right.
