a Size-preference activation maps (big vs. small) from the group averaged fMRI data when objects and their silhouette and texture were present. A medial-to-lateral arrangement of the size preference in the VTC was present in the object and silhouette conditions, but not in the texture condition. Black dotted line: MFS. b Activation magnitude showed a significant difference between big and small objects in the size-sensitive ROI in the object and silhouette conditions, but not in the texture condition. c The activation patterns in the ROI to objects and silhouettes, but not texture, were capable of distinguishing big from small objects. Blue line: objects; Yellow line: silhouettes; Green line: texture. d A whole-brain searchlight analysis found regions capable of distinguishing big from small objects only in the VTC and only for objects and silhouettes, but not for texture.
