To directly visualize the emergence of schematic coding from the neural data, we performed a multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) analysis, where the time-resolved neural RDMs (averaged across participants) were projected onto a two-dimensional space. The RDM time series was smoothed using a sliding averaging window (15 ms width). Computing MDS solutions across time yielded a movie (5 ms resolution), where fragments travel through an arbitrary space, eventually forming a meaningful organization. Notably, around 200 ms, a division into the three vertical locations can be observed.
