Non-normalized functional activity for furnished rooms, empty rooms, isolated furniture, and multiple isolated objects in (a) the three scene areas and (b) TOS and inferior IPS. To account for response amplitude differences when comparing across ROIs and to facilitate between ROI comparisons, the data were also normalized within each participant by dividing the response amplitude for each condition by the furnished room condition. Normalized data is shown below for (c) the three scene areas and (d) TOS and inferior IPS. All three scene areas exhibited virtually the same response pattern, showing the lowest response to multiple isolated objects and preferring empty rooms to isolated furniture. Inferior IPS, on the other hand, showed similar responses to multiple isolated objects, empty rooms, and isolated furniture. A significant difference was found between TOS and inferior IPS in their responses to multiple isolated objects and in their response differences to empty rooms and isolated furniture.
