Results of Part III. Stimulus contrasts for each test are shown in the left column.a, Face ROIs were defined separately for each subject using the average of two face versus object scans as described for Figure 3a. The resulting brain slice with statistical overlay for one subject (S10) is shown in the center column, and the time course of signal intensity averaged over the five subjects’ ROIs is shown at the right. As described for Figure 3a (Part II), the ROI specified on the basis of the faces versus objects comparison was used for the two subsequent comparisons of passive viewing of three-quarter faces versus hands (b), and the consecutive matching task on three-quarter faces versus hands (c).
