Patterns of rapid experience-dependent remapping in human SI.

(A) An example digit map from an individual participant and session, shown on an inflated brain surface (bottom right), and a zoomed panel (Threshold FDR α = 0.01); sulci and gyri are shown in dark …

Figure 1—figure supplement 1
Cortical surface area of individual digit representations used in calculation of DICE coefficient at each time point.

No significant change in cortical digit surface area was observed across the three time points under study (Control 1, Control 2 and Glue); two-way repeated measures ANOVA indicated no significant …

Overview of the fMRI experiment and the behavioural experiment study design.

The order of conditions was counterbalanced across participants, resulting in four participants experiencing the control period first (Order A; top row), and five participants experiencing the …

Pattern of shift in the cortical representation of digit 4 from inter-digit overlap analysis.

Data displayed for all nine participants (AI) showing the outline of the digit 4 representation mapped during the three sessions (Control 1, Control 2, Glued) overlaid on the individual …

Representational similarity analysis of block design data yields complementary evidence of shift in the S1 representation of digit 4 away from digit 3 and towards digit 5.

(A) Noise normalised parameter estimates from a standard GLM for each digit were used to construct representational dissimilarity matrices (RDMs) using Euclidean distance within a hand knob ROI …

Figure 4—figure supplement 1
In a motor confusion task involving rapid button presses using the four digits under study (D2, D3, D4, D5) there is an increase in the number of mis-presses between digits 4 and 5, consistent with the observed pattern of increased cortical overlap and representational similarity observed between digit 4 and 5.

(A) Distribution of presses and mis-presses for each target and each digit, averaged across Control 1 and Control 2, demonstrating a pattern of mis-presses predominantly in digits adjacent to the …

Consistent patterns of peak-to-peak distance (mm) in cortical z-statistic digit representations.

The observed consistency was quantified with Cronbach’s α for each digit pair across the three time points. The resulting values support a high degree of consistency in the relative peak-to-peak distance across the observed digit maps over time.
