A Example neurons (array 3) for self-reported perception (button press). Average net spike rate and raster plot of a face (top) and place (bottom) selective single unit around self-reported face (blue) and place (red) perception during rivalrous conditions. Dotted vertical lines indicate the button press signaling the report of perceptual change. Each horizontal line on the raster plots represents a separate trial. The face and place image are stock photos (face: iStock.com/Djavan Rodriguez; place: iStock.com/Iakov Kalinin). B Decoder face probability around self-reported perceptual changes of a face (top) and place (bottom). Each row represents a different instance where patients signaled a new percept. A Gaussian filter was applied for visualization (\(\sigma\) = 1). C Average decoder face probability during rivalrous trials when a face (green) or place (yellow) is reported. Horizontal bars represent significance (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01, one-sided permutation test with at least five consecutive significant time points). For all arrays, face probability was higher in the 1500 leading up to a face report compared to a place report (A2: p = 5.17 × 10−50, A3: p = 1.34 × 10−22, A4: p = 1.74 × 10−29, A5: p = 0.005; one-sided independent samples t-test). In (A and C), shading represents standard error (N = number of button presses).
