Figure 2. Spatio-temporal hierarchy.
(A) Mass-univariate statistics. Each row plots the average-across-subjects beta coefficients obtained from regression between single-trial evoked activity and each of the five features orthogonally varying in this study. These results are displayed in Video 2. Colors are thresholded based on t-values that exceed an uncorrected p<0.1. We chose this threshold because the perceptual category did not exceed the significance threshold in the univariate tests. (B) Spatial-decoders, consisting of linear models fit across all time sample for each source separately, summarize where each feature can be decoded. Lines indicate significant clusters of decoding scores across subjects cluster-corrected p<0.05. (C) Temporal-decoders, consisting of linear models fit across all MEG channels, for each time sample separately, summarize when each feature can be decoded. To highlight the sequential generation of each representation, decoding scores are normalized by their respective peaks. Additional non-normalized decoding timecourses are available in Figure 2—figure supplements 1 and 2. (D) The peak and the start of temporal decoding plotted for each subject (dot) and for each feature (color). (E) The peak spatial decoding plotted for each subject (dot) and for each feature (color).
