Results for whole brain searchlight analysis.

Heat maps for searchlight contrasts. Searchlight maps indicating local pattern discriminability for each condition were normalised and contrasted on the second level (see Materials and methods for details). Colour coding for t-values is indicated by colour bars at the bottom of a) and b). Please note that the contrast between the audiovisual incongruent and congruent conditions was tested as well but yielded no significant results. Note that contrasts are directed and that contrasts of opposite direction yielded no significant results.

• a)
  Increased pattern discriminability for the audio-visual congruent condition as compared with the visual only condition in bilateral superior temporal gyrus (see Table 1 and Results section for details).
• b)
  Increased pattern discriminability for the visual only condition as compared with the audio-visual incongruent condition in left lateral occipital area and the banks of the calcarine.
