a, Mean decoding profile with 95% CL for all neurons that accurately differentiated between false-belief vs. true-belief trials (n = 49; one-sided permutation test, p < 0.025). Here, the trials were divided based on whether or not the social agent was made aware of events in the narratives. Since the state of reality was the same under these two conditions, demonstration of similar decoding performances on the standard other-belief and other-belief aware trials confirmed that neuronal predictions of the other’s beliefs reflected the other’s perspective of reality independently of the participant’s own. b, Decoding accuracies on other-belief aware trials were positively correlated with those decoded from the standard other-belief trials on a cell-by-cell basis (n = 49; Pearson’s correlation; p = 0.04).
