Figure 1. Different approaches for testing the functional organization of emotion in the brain with MVPC.

Figure 1

The flexibility of analysis parameters in pattern classification permits posing different experimental questions about the neural basis of emotion under the same framework (left column). By adjusting the method of feature selection employed (middle column), information contained in the activity of large scale networks, specific regions, or searchlights throughout the brain focus analysis onto different spatial scales. Adopting different learning algorithms and classification schema (right column) permits testing of diverse hypotheses.
