Activity for prostheses in visual hand-selective areas relates to prosthesis usage. Correlations between prosthesis usage and prosthesis activity in lateral occipito-temporal cortex for one’s own prosthesis (A–C) and exemplars of unfamiliar (others’) active prostheses (D–F). Correlations within individuals’ visual hand-selective regions of interest (A and D) and whole-brain analysis (C and F) are presented. Correlation was calculated while controlling for objects activity to achieve prosthesis-specific variations in functional MRI signal. Correlations of prosthesis-related activity with prosthesis usage are significantly greater in one-handers than chance (B and E), but not with passive observation in controls (G). CS = central sulcus; R/L = right/left hemispheres; STS = superior temporal sulcus.
