Figure 5.

The shape minus control contrast involving each of the auditory and tactile modalities commonly yielded a subregion of the LOC as an area of activity both before and after training. Top, Left hemisphere sagittal sections; bottom, horizontal sections. The LOC was defined as the occipitotemporal area of visual activity resulting from the seeing-shape minus scrambled-shape (data acquired only posttraining). Regions of activity involving one, two, or all three modalities were coded differentially by different colors as indicated in a Venn diagram. A, Auditory; T, tactile; V, visual.
