fMRI cross-decoding searchlight results for a human faces vs. objects and b illusory faces vs. objects. For both comparisons, the location of greatest decoding accuracy is within ventral temporal cortex and overlaps with FFA particularly in the right hemisphere. The location of greatest cross-decoding for illusory faces vs. matched objects (across exemplars) is a subset of the area for human faces vs. objects. For illustration, the approximate boundaries of functionally defined FFA (purple) and OFA (green) as defined by the location of overlapping surface nodes across individual participants (node inclusion threshold = 3/16 participants for OFA, 4/16 participants for FFA) are drawn on this example inflated surface for comparison with the searchlight results.
