Figure 1. Patterns of rapid experience-dependent remapping in human SI.

(A) An example digit map from an individual participant and session, shown on an inflated brain surface (bottom right), and a zoomed panel (Threshold FDR α = 0.01); sulci and gyri are shown in dark and light grey, respectively. The region of interest used for cortical overlap analysis is indicated by a white line on the inflated brain. (B) Cortical overlap between pairs of digit representations showed a significant reduction between D3 and D4, and a significant increase between D4 and D5 after the gluing manipulation compared with the two control conditions. *p<0.05 **p<0.005 Sidak corrected. Data in (B) are presented normalised to control one session; all statistics were performed on raw un-normalised data. Dice: Dice coefficient; Error bars represent standard error of mean.

No significant change in cortical digit surface area was observed across the three time points under study (Control 1, Control 2 and Glue); two-way repeated measures ANOVA indicated no significant interaction between session and digit on the surface area (F(6,48) = 1.259, p=0.294, η2:. 136).

The order of conditions was counterbalanced across participants, resulting in four participants experiencing the control period first (Order A; top row), and five participants experiencing the gluing manipulation first (Order B, bottom row). Control 0 was treated as an habituation session and was not included in the analysis. Beh: behavioural testing.
