(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 …
Data presented in Figure 1B.
DICE coefficients representing digit overlap for three digit pairs (D2–D3, D3–D4 and D4–D5) across three conditions (Control 1, Control 2 and Glued).
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 …
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 …
(A) Order A (Control 1 separated by 4 weeks from Control 2 and Glued): n = 4; Order B (Glued separated by 4 weeks from Control 1 and Control 2), n = 5.
Data displayed for all nine participants (A–I) showing the outline of the digit 4 representation mapped during the three sessions (Control 1, Control 2, Glued) overlaid on the individual …
(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 …
Data presented Figure 3A.
Representational similarity analysis distance metrics for adjacent digit pairs (D2–D3, D3–D4 and D4–D5) across three conditions (Control 1, Control 2 and Glued).
(A) An example of accuracy data from the temporal order judgment task. Accuracy scores (black dots) are illustrated for an individual participant and a single run assessing performance across D2-D3. …
Data presented Figure 4B.
Just Noticeable Difference (JND) values representing tactile discrimination ability for three digit pairs (D2–D3, D3–D4 and D4–D5) across three conditions (Control 1, Control 2 and Glued).
Data presented Figure 4—figure supplement 1B.
Frequency of mis-localisations for motor confusion task across adjacent digit pairs (D2–D3, D3–D4 and D4–D5) across three conditions (Control 1, Control 2 and Glued).
(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.
Summary of goodness of fit between phase-encoding model and fMRI data for each digit and timepoint.
These values support a high degree of consistency in the model fit within each participant and digit across the fMRI time points: 181 TRs of fMRI data.
Demographic information for participants recruited to fMRI and behavioural cohorts.
F: female, M: Male, R: right handed.
