Crossmodal searchlight analysis. Classifiers trained to distinguish objects presented in one sensory modality were used to distinguish the same objects presented in a different sensory modality. Thus, above‐chance performance indicates the presence of modality‐invariant information about the identity of the object. Top, Audiovisual invariance was detected in a right hemisphere cluster located at the junction of lateral occipital cortex and posterior temporal cortex. Middle, Audiotactile invariance was detected in left secondary somatosensory cortex, along the inferior postcentral gyrus and parietal operculum. Bottom, Visuotactile invariance was detected in two right hemisphere clusters: one that extended from postcentral gyrus and superior parietal lobule to supramarginal gyrus and into parietal operculum, and the other in medial premotor cortex. Maps were thresholded at the P level of 0.01 (t > 2.567; DOF = 17) and then a cluster mass P level of 0.05, as determined by a nonparametric one‐sample t‐test (5,000 permutations of random sign‐flipping of the data).
