a This whole-brain analysis parametrically tested for voxels where the social context modulated how activity correlated with the trial-by-trial estimates of P1’s changes in the level of cooperation at the time P1’s response. b This whole-brain analysis parametrically tested for voxels where the social context modulated how activity correlated with the trial-by-trial estimates of the sign of the social prediction error (P1’s surprise about P2 changes of position) at the time when P2 position is revealed. c βs showing the strength of ACCg and PaCg encoding of KLD sign across social contexts (from cooperative to competitive; bars represent population averages, N = 25). d Time series analyses revealed that, depending on whether, in the next trial, the participant became more cooperative or competitive, the activity would be different, with a higher signal when participants became more cooperative in the intermediate condition. Traces are population averages (+/− SEM).
