Figure 5. Examples of sorted artist’s galleries.

Each 3 x 10 block of images shows how the images returned by the Google Images query for a single artist (named in the lower right corner of each block) were sorted by the decoding procedure. Rows within each block correspond to one population of 1000 voxels. For each block the three populations selected for display were the three “best” in the sense that activity evoked by the perceived or imagined artwork were more highly correlated with model predictions in these populations than in all other populations. Columns indicate the ranking of each image. The top 5 images are shown to the left of the small vertical division within each block. The bottom 5 images are shown to the right of the division. In C the perceived works of art are outlined in blue. In D the imagined works of art are outlined in orange. Data for all three subjects are pooled in this figure.
