“…Critically, regardless of the form of viewpoint selectivity of the underlying neuronal populations, stronger responses for frontal than lateral face views will lead to mirror-symmetry with analysis pipelines that either demean the data prior to RSA or use the Euclidean distance to measure pattern dissimilarities (Ramírez, 2017). We recently also showed that stimuli from previous studies exhibit low-level feature imbalances across face-views consistent with the reported overrepresentation (Ramírez et al, 2020). Building on these observations, geometrical reasoning led us to hypothesize that interhemispheric crossings in the brain might explain common and inconsistent trends observed across neuroimaging studies of viewpoint selectivity (see Figure 2).…”

“…Some fMRI voxels exhibit higher BOLD signal levels than others, due to, among many reasons, partial voluming (González Ballester et al, 2002), cortical folding (Polimeni et al, 2010; Gagnon et al, 2015) and specifics of the underlying vasculature (Bandettini and Wong, 1997; Schmid et al, 2019). A static measurement gain field (mGF) can be defined that summarizes the level of signal gain in each voxel (Ramírez et al, 2014; 2020). To model the influence of such gain field on our simulated response patterns, we randomly generated an mGF.…”

“…Thus, while this approach allows for comparisons at the population level both for MEG and fMRI, it is indirect and introduces additional assumptions about the spatial distribution of activity patterns and their representational similarity metric. Specifically, MEG-fMRI fusion based on classical representational similarity analysis (RSA) 37 requires the a priori selection of sensors and/or voxels to include into the computation of an RDM, additionally assumes that all voxels and MEG sensors contribute equally to the representational similarity 61 , and requires the selection of a similarity metric 62, 63 . In contrast, the size of THINGS-data allows using the MEG data directly to predict responses in fMRI ROIs or even individual voxels without having to rely on these assumptions.…”

“…This wealth of prior information provided an important benefit in reducing the number of design and analytical choices that we needed to make, all of which could be considered to be “experimenter degrees of freedom” from a legal perspective. From a technical perspective, the relative simplicity of RS, which allows experimenters to circumvent the difficult problems of accounting for individual differences in the spatial pattern of neural activities ( 63 ) and specifying the functional form of (dis)similarity, may also offer certain advantages in reducing bias in a legal setting over other analytic tools such as MVPA and RSA.…”
