Figure 4.

Multiple adjoining word- and face-selective patches in individual participants. A, Representative single participant demonstrated alternating bands of word- and face-selectivity along the left fusiform gyrus. Major VTC sulci (collateral sulcus [COS], midfusiform sulcus [MFS], and occipitotemporal sulcus [OTS]) have been outlined for clarity. Shaded electrodes are those selective to words (yellow) and faces (blue). Open circles represent ventral temporal electrodes that did not reach the selectivity criterion for either of these categories. Raw event-related broadband activity (ERBB) is shown for each of the numbered electrodes in the right panel. Error bars represent SE across trials. Moving from medial to lateral, electrodes demonstrate a preferential response to words, a preferential response to faces, a mixed response to both words and faces, then preferential response to words. B, Three additional examples of patients with multiple adjoining word- and face-selective regions or word-selectivity medial to face-selectivity in VTC. Major VTC sulci have been labeled for clarity, as in A.
