FCD dynamics are robust to variations in meaning perception. a The variance of the FCD circuit (blue) is significantly lower than that of the non-FCD circuit (orange), and aligns with the behavioral data (red) (FCD (blue): slope = 0.74, 95% CI = [0.71, 0.77], non-FCD (Orange): slope = 1.04, 95% CI = [1, 1.08], Behavioral data (red): slope = 0.65, 95% CI = [0.61, 0.69]). b, c FCD circuit dynamics are robust to large variations in meaning dimension’s average meaning score, while the non-FCD circuit dynamics change drastically. Arrows indicate the change in dynamics upon a random scaling of meaning dimensions for FCD response (blue arrows, b), and non-FCD response (red arrows, c). d Average arrow length in the case of b and c. FCD, median arrow norm = 2, 95% CI = [1.4, 2.2], non-FCD, median arrow norm = 5.2, 95% CI = [4.1, 6.3], Mann–Whitney Test, U = 1207, p < 10−5, effect size = 0.64. Center line in each box is the median value, box bounds are 25%, 75% quantiles, and whiskers show max and min values of data
