Each bar illustrates the percentage of times that participant-specific models better predicted the same participant’s fMRI representations than another participants’ fMRI data (see main text for details). This test was repeated for each pairwise combination of the 26 participants. The eight ROIs illustrated were identified in our initial ROI-based analysis. Complete results for all ROIs are in Supplementary Table 2. To provide context for the neural-decoding accuracy values, we ran a comparative pairwise decoding analysis in absence of fMRI data based on the verbal and attribute models alone (e.g., P1-verbal vs. P1-attribute and so on). This yielded an accuracy of 83% (p = 0.0001). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
