Main effect of motor sequence execution during MVPA task.
(t-value thresholded at p < 05 FDR-corrected).

Illustration of the method: for each neighborhood centered on a gray-matter coordinate, we computed cross-validated Mahalanobis distance matrices.
The two maps of interest, respectively representing the distances between new sequences and between consolidated sequences, were then analyzed at the group level.

Conjunction of group searchlight contrast (paired t-test) between consolidated and new sequences discriminability maps and separate group discriminability maps for new and consolidated sequences (z-score thresholded at p < .05 TFCE-cluster-corrected) showing a reorganization of the distributed memory trace between these two stages.
