Fig. 8. The independence of coding objects’ size, curvature and animacy in the object space.

Fig. 8

Curvature was measured by aspect ratio, which showed no significant correlation with either objects’ size (a) or PC2 (b). c The size axis (PC2) was not sensitive to the size of animals (t = 1.78, p = 0.08). d Instead, the feature of animacy was apparently encoded in the first principal component (PC1) of the object space, as the values of PC1 distinguished animacy from artifacts (t = 13.05, p < 0.001). ***p < 0.001; n.s. not significant.
