Orthographic and semantic information in the VWFA. (A) Anatomical and group-level functional VWFA localization. The anatomical mask was a box covering the left posterior occipitotemporal sulcus27; the group-level functional VWFA was localized using a whole-brain searchlight RSA with the logographeme RDM (cluster-level FWE corrected P < 0.05, peak MNI coordinates xyz: −48, −64, −16). The two masks showed certain overlap. (B) Orthographic representation in the VWFA. (C) Specific and composite semantic information in the VWFA. The bars report the averaged Fisher-z-transformed Spearman correlation between individual subject’s neural RDMs in each VWFA mask and the theoretical/behavioral RDMs. Error bar: ±standard error. **P < 0.01, one-sample t tests against zero (one-tailed); #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, paired t tests (two-tailed).
