Figure 5: Phase-locking values between coactivated structures suggests sustained interactions.
From: Sequential then interactive processing of letters and words in the left fusiform gyrus
PLV between the posterior fusiform letter-selective area (large white circle) and other simultaneously active sites (coloured circles) is increased from 160-400 ms for words (a), and consonants (b), but not for FF (c). Columns 2 and 3: Time-frequency plots of PLV between the posterior fusiform and the prefrontal (PF), anterior temporal (AT), lingual (LG), lateral occipital-temporal (LOT), lateral occipital (LO), and medial occipito-temporal (MOT) contacts. The colour bar ranges vary for a given contact-pair but are constant for a given contact-pair across all conditions. Column 1: PLV between the posterior fusiform letter-selective site and all other sites mapped onto the reconstructed brain surface at 10 Hz, at 225 ms. Colour values indicate the z-score relative to prestimulus baseline, thresholded at z>4.5. Columns 2 and 3 display the absolute size of the PLV.
