Figure 2—figure supplement 1
GLM results of the post-disambiguation identified >pre disambiguation not-identified contrast, based on the verbal identification responses.

For each subject, the same set of Mooney images are included in both conditions. Results were corrected for multiple comparisons using a cluster-defining threshold of z > 3.1, cluster size ≥17 …

Searchlight decoding of pre-disambiguation not-identified vs post-disambiguation identified Mooney images, selected based on verbal identification responses.

For each subject, the same set of images are included in both conditions. Results were corrected for multiple comparisons using a cluster-based permutation test and thresholded at a p<0.01, …

Regions of interest (ROIs) used in RSA.

(A) The FPN included the following ROIs: right frontal (14427 voxels, vx), left frontal (13383 vx), right parietal (3381 vx) and left parietal (3949 vx). The DMN included: MPFC (1135 vx), PCC (2145 …

Neural representation format of individual images in visual regions.

(A) Analysis schematic. Dissimilarity (1 – Pearson’s r) between the neural response patterns to pairs of images was computed to construct the representational dissimilarity matrix (RDM) for each …

Figure 3—figure supplement 2
RSA results for the right and left V4 (left and middle column, respectively), and the corresponding ROI size control analysis (right column).

The size of V4 ROIs (right: 256 vx; left: 198 vx) was much smaller than V1-V3 ROIs. Right column: We merged the left and right V4 ROIs for each subject, which yielded ROIs of approximately 500 …

DMN results of the ROI size control analysis.

To assess whether ROI size affected dissimilarity, a control analysis was performed in a subset of regions, including DMN and V4 (V4 results presented in Figure 3—figure supplement 2). We …
