Figure 1: ECoG recording site and task procedure.

(a) Lateral (top) and ventral (bottom; only the left hemisphere is shown) views of a monkey brain implanted with an ECoG electrode grid, reconstructed by post-mortem observations. Red dots indicate individual electrodes. amts: anterior middle temporal sulcus; ots: occipitotemporal sulcus; rs: rhinal sulcus; sts: superior temporal sulcus. A-P: anteroposterior; D-V: dorsoventral; M-L: mediolateral. Scale bar, 10 mm. (b) Recording site. Areas TE, 36 (A36), the PH and the ENT are labelled based on the histological analysis. Scale bar, 5 mm. (c) PA memory task. (left) Examples of visual stimulus–stimulus associations. (right) A visual stimulus was presented as a cue (1 s) followed by a 1.5 s delay, and up to three choice stimuli were sequentially presented. The monkeys were required to respond upon the presentation of the correct paired associate of the cue.
