Three Virtues of Similarity-based Multivariate Pattern Analysis: An example from the human object vision pathway
We present an fMRI investigation of object representation in the human ventral vision pathway highlighting three aspects of similarity analysis that make it especially useful for illuminating the representational content underlying neural activation patterns. First, similarity structures allow for an abstract depiction of representational content in a given brain region. This is demonstrated us...
متن کاملMulti-Voxel Pattern Analysis of fMRI Data
The central goal of cognitive neuroscience is to understand how information is processed in the brain. To accomplish this goal, researchers studying human cognition are increasingly relying on multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA); this method involves analyzing spatially distributed (multi-voxel) patterns of functional MRI activity, with the goal of decoding the information that is represented a...
متن کاملA critique of multi-voxel pattern analysis
Multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) is a popular analytical technique in neuroscience that involves identifying patterns in fMRI BOLD signal data that are predictive of task conditions. But the technique is also frequently used to make inferences about the regions of the brain that are most important to the tasks in question, and our analysis shows that this is a mistake. MVPA does not provide ...
متن کاملReliability of dissimilarity measures for multi-voxel pattern analysis
Representational similarity analysis of activation patterns has become an increasingly important tool for studying brain representations. The dissimilarity between two patterns is commonly quantified by the correlation distance or the accuracy of a linear classifier. However, there are many different ways to measure pattern dissimilarity and little is known about their relative reliability. Her...
متن کاملBeyond mind-reading: multi-voxel pattern analysis of fMRI data.
A key challenge for cognitive neuroscience is determining how mental representations map onto patterns of neural activity. Recently, researchers have started to address this question by applying sophisticated pattern-classification algorithms to distributed (multi-voxel) patterns of functional MRI data, with the goal of decoding the information that is represented in the subject's brain at a pa...
