Conjunction of path a and ab effects. a Social information effects were consistent across paths a and ab in dmPFC, vlPFC, dlPFC, IPS, and visual cortex. Trial-wise average activity (betas) in these regions correlated significantly with trial-wise expectation ratings (individual slopes in purple). Average activity did not significantly predict individual differences in the social influence effects on expectations (scatter plot). b CS effects were consistent across paths a and ab in the hippocampus, cerebellum, and fusiform gyrus. Trial-wise average activity in these areas correlated significantly with trial-wise expectation ratings (individual slopes in green). Individual differences in the strength of the activation were correlated with individual differences in how much expectations ratings were driven by the CS. Conjunction effects are displayed as the intersection of activation for paths a and ab, each of them thresholded at P < 0.05 FDR-corrected and adjacent voxels at p < 0.05 uncorrected. Asterisk reflects significant Pearson correlation coefficient (p < 0.05). Shaded error bands reflect bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals. Source data are provided as a Source Data file
