Fig. 2: Pareidolia selectivity is correlated with face selectivity.
From: Face cells encode object parts more than facial configuration of illusory faces
a Scatterplot showing the correlation between face selectivity (face d’) plotted on the x-axis and pareidolia selectivity (pareidolia d’) on the y-axis. Each dot depicts a neural unit in central IT (CIT; n = 208, pooled across 4 monkeys). The black line indicates an ordinary least squares (OLS) linear regression fit, with shaded 95% confidence intervals error bands. The values on the top left corner depict the Pearson’s correlation (r) and the corresponding p-value calculated using the corr function in MATLAB (R2021b). b Scatterplot showing the correlation between face and pareidolia selectivity in anterior IT (AIT; n = 163, pooled across 5 monkeys). Same conventions as in (a).
