Average percent signal change in each face-selective region to four conditions testing parts versus whole processing (i.e., arranged internal features, rearranged internal features, arranged external features, rearranged external features). OFA and pSTS responded similarly to arranged and rearranged face parts, both for internal and external features (both p’s > 0.32), whereas FFA was sensitive to the coherent arrangement of both internal and external features (p < 0.01), suggesting that all three regions extract similar kinds of representations across internal and external features. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
