Functional Localizers

Todo

Introductory narrative (2-3 sentences): What functional localizers were run and what do they provide? Are the outputs contrast maps, thresholded ROIs, or both?

For the localizer experimental paradigm (categories, timing, task), see Experimental Design.

Todo

Add an overview figure showing example localizer activation maps on a brain (e.g., category-selective regions highlighted on an inflated surface or anatomical slice).

Category-selective regions identified by the functional localizer. (placeholder — replace with actual figure)

Localizer Contrasts

Todo

For each contrast, write a brief description (1-2 sentences) of what it targets and how it was computed. Add or remove entries as needed. Include figures showing example activation maps for each contrast.

Contrast 1: (placeholder)

Todo

  • Contrast definition (e.g., faces > objects)

  • Target region(s) (e.g., FFA, OFA, STS)

  • Brief note on thresholding if ROIs were derived

Contrast 2: (placeholder)

Todo

Same as above for the next contrast.

(Add more contrasts as needed.)

Derived ROIs

Todo

Were category-selective ROIs derived from the localizer contrasts? If so, describe how (individual-subject thresholding, group-level, etc.). These are also available under derivatives/rois/ — see ROIs.

File Organization
