A common set of brain regions supporting information about taste quality and food picture category. A conjunction of multivariate searchlight maps performed on both taste perception and food pictures tasks identifies a set of regions which reliably discriminate between both taste quality and food picture category. This set of regions included sensory cortical areas within the mid-insular cortex and somatosensory cortex, as well as regions of the ventral occipitotemporal object processing stream.
