Selective Attention Experiment. (a) Example trial of the selective attention experiment. In the selective attention experiment each trial contained 8 images each from 2 different visual object categories that were superimposed and could be either upright or upside down, presented over the course of 8 s. Participants were instructed to indicate with a button press when items of the cued category (in this example, a face) but not the ignored category (in this example, car) were upside down. Image with black contour indicates such an example in this trial. (b) Example stimuli used in the experiment. (c) Example VTC category selective regions.
