Fig. 9. Modulation of inferior prefrontal reliability by complexity.

Fig. 9

a (Left) Bilateral ilPFC was found to exhibit a significant interaction between complexity and reliability (Max reliability × complexity). Statistical significance of the negative effects is illustrated by the cyan colormap. The threshold is set at p < 0.005. (Right) The brain region reflecting the interaction effect largely overlaps with the brain area implicated in arbitration control. The red and blue regions refers to the main effect of max reliability and the interaction between reliability and task complexity, respectively, thresholded at p < 0.001. b Plot of average signal change extracted from left and right ilPFC clusters showing the interaction, shown separately for reliability signals derived from the MF and MB controllers. Data are split into two equal-sized bins according to the 50th and 100th percentile of the reliability signal, and shown for the trials in the low and high complexity condition separately. The error bars are SEM across subjects.
