Brain surface maps of the results from fMRI run 4 for the same analysis applied to fMRI run 1 in Fig. 2. Compared to run 1, participants at run 4 showed fewer regions where intersubject DM correlations at run 4 were above the chance threshold for engineering students only (green), novices only (blue), and both groups (red). Each group had some representational convergence in right posterior parietal cortex, but otherwise convergent representations were found only in vOT. Engineering students showed more anterior representational convergence in vOT than novices. Groups continued to overlap in representational convergence in occipital regions.
