Fig. 3: Characterization of single neuron responses.
From: Single neuron responses underlying face recognition in the human midfusiform face-selective cortex
A, B Normalized grand average of enhanced responses to faces (N = 25) and places (N = 13). In both cases, the responses to the familiar and unknown stimuli were very similar. C, D Distribution of response strength and latency, with no significant differences between the responses to faces and places (C: bin size=0.1; D: bin size=10). E Familiarity index values for the place and the face responses. Values are centered around zero—i.e. not showing any clear tendency to respond to familiar or unknown pictures—and, as before, there were no differences between the face and place responses (E: bin size=0.1). F Selectivity values, also showing no differences between the face and place responses- (F: bin size=0.1). G, H Average of the normalized ranked responses for the face- and place-responsive units, respectively. In both cases, a graded pattern of responses was observed, with face-responsive neurons also responding to places, and vice versa. The shaded areas represent SEM. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
