Similarity searchlight analyses. A, DM based on behavioral ratings and corresponding dendrogram. B, Whole-brain searchlight results for correlation with behavioral DM. Neural DMs evaluated within searchlight spheres (radius = 9 mm) correlated significantly with the behavioral DM throughout the LOC region, but not in early visual regions of the occipital pole. C, DM based on V1 model of stimuli and corresponding dendrogram. D, Searchlight results for correlation with V1 model. Neural DMs for searchlight spheres correlated with the V1 model in the medial occipital pole. Searchlight maps show the average Pearson product-moment correlation with the target DMs (A, C) across subjects in MNI standard space. Maps are thresholded at t₍₁₁₎ = 4.41, p < 0.001, one-sample t test for z > 0, for z-values converted from permutation-based p values.
