Experiment 2 intergroup comparisons. Experiment 2′s group contrast (Experts vs. Novices) multisubject maps for the cars versus airplanes contrast in the high engagement condition (A) and the cars versus airplanes contrast in the low engagement condition (B), displayed on flattened cortical surfaces. These statistical maps show up the significant difference between the groups for the contrast specified (P < 0.0001, RE, corrected, minimum cluster size of 10 contiguous functional voxels. Experts: n = 13, Novices: n = 14). Yellow to orange patches denote in (A) car-selective regions that were more activated in experts than in novices in the high engagement condition (i.e., defined by the contrast [cars High Engagement > airplanes High Engagement]_experts > [cars High Engagement > airplanes High Engagement]_novices) and in (B) car-selective regions that were more activated in experts than in novices (i.e., defined by the contrast [cars Low Engagement > airplanes Low Engagement]_experts > [cars Low Engagement > airplanes Low Engagement]_novices)_. The light blue patches denote regions exhibited negative results to these contrasts. Presentation format and anatomical landmarks as in Figure 2.
