95% CI around overall mean [0.815, 0.825] [0.682, 0.695] [0.646, 0.659] [0.530, 0.544] [0.716, 0.728] [0.647, 0.66]

In both ventral and dorsal streams, 1st 4 rows show mean (±SE) across subjects of the feature-level classifier accuracy for each feature type across subjects. Chance = 0.5. SF,  spatial frequency. Fifth row shows overall mean ± SE accuracy across all 4 feature-level classifiers  across subjects. Sixth row shows 95% CIs around the overall mean accuracy determined by within-subject bootstrap resampling with replacement over 10,000 iterations. All data were averaged over 2 sessions for each subject. Overall mean accuracy scores for each session in each subject were transformed into a log-likelihood ratio (log odds; chance = 0) and submitted to a 2-way repeated-measures ANOVA, with factors Scan Session (1, 2) and ROI (V1, V2v, V3v, V2d, V3d, LOC), revealing a main effect of ROI [F(5,35) = 83.14, P < 0.001, η2 = 0.922], no significant effect of Scan Session [F(1,7) = 0.860, P = 0.39, η2 = 0.109], and a nonsignificant interaction [F(5,35) = 2.367, P = 0.06, η2 = 0.253]. Accuracy was lowest in region LOC, but a 1-sample t-test revealed that the log odds of LOC accuracy (collapsed over sessions) exceeded chance performance (mean = 0.1486, SD = 0.0303, t[7] = 13.89, P < 0.001).
