Figure 3.

Responses of vOTC to written and AWs in blind and sighted individuals. A, Experimental conditions and sample stimuli for Experiments 1 and 2 for blind and sighted groups, respectively. B, Bar graph depicts results from functional ROI analyses in vOTC. ROIs were defined as top 5% of vertices activated for Braille CSs > TC (blind) or visual CSs > FF strings (sighted) using a leave-one-run-out procedure. Yellow outline in brain inlay illustrates search space within which individual functional ROIs were defined, and red indicates one sample participant's ROI. PSC is on the y-axis and error bars represent the SEM. C, PSC over time. Dotted lines indicate the peak duration across which PSC was averaged to obtain mean PSC in B.
