Figure 6. Correspondence between fMRI and object recognition performance.

(A) Mean accuracy of recognition, obtained outside the scanner in the box scrambling experiment and the diffeomorphic scrambling experiment., as a function of scrambling. Recognition ability decreased as a function of scrambling. (B) Partial correlation between fMRI activation and recognition performance along the two pathways. Black and gray asterisks signify that a ROI evinces a significantly positive correlation between these two variables (r > 0, q < 0.05) in the box scrambling experiment and diffeomorphic scrambling experiment, respectively. The black vertical line separates the lateral and inferior ROIs of the ventral pathway. In both experiments, object recognition abilities were correlated with fMRI responses across different ROIs in the mid-anterior parts of the ventral and dorsal pathways.
