Figure 3.

(A) The priming effect across all subjects, collapsed across all trials in the identity and regular conditions, shown on a representative subject's inflated cortical surface, at approximately the temporal peak of the effect (i.e., ~190 ms post-target onset). Facilitatory priming effects are shown in blue, and inhibitory priming effects are shown in red. The functionally defined ROI (fROI) for the facilitatory priming effect, within the fusiform and inferior temporal ROIs, is highlighted in green (overlaid on the blue patch representing the facilitatory priming effect). (B) Mean activity in the fROI, collapsed across all four conditions: identity, regular, irregular, and pseudo-irregular. (C) Mean activity in the fROI, separated by PrimeType, for the irregular condition. The significant M170 priming effect is shaded in gray; note that other time windows were not tested for significance. (D) Mean activity in the fROI, separated by PrimeType, for the pseudo-irregular condition.
