Table 3. Decoding social versus nonsocial stories within the six ROIs.

For definition of ROIs, see Figure 2. Mean decoding accuracy (%), 95% confidence interval (based on bootstrap distribution), and p value (based on permutation testing) are shown for each of the six ROIs. Results shown for each of four social story conditions (endogenous-self, exogenous-self, endogenous-other, and exogenous-other) versus the nonsocial control. * indicates significant p values that survived correction for multiple comparisons across all six ROIs (FDR-corrected p<0.05).
