We plot median prediction across subject, for each classifier/regularizer model combination. The models are significantly biased if P valid is consistently higher than P test (significance assessed using non‐parametric paired Wilcoxon test; significant tests shaded in grey). Results are shown for the minimum sample size (N block = 1), for the three task contrasts.
