For the article “The Role of Background Statistics in Face Adaptation” by Jianhua Wu, Hong Xu, Peter Dayan, and Ning Qian, which appeared on pages 12035–12044 of the September 30, 2009 issue, the authors have issued the following correction: We greatly regret that there were the following errors in this article: (1) The program that calculated the summary data in Figures 3e, 4e, 6e, 7, and 9 subtracted a baseline incorrectly. (2) Some individual subjects' curves in supplemental Figures 1, 2, and 4 were mixed up. Corrected versions of these panels and figures are printed here. We have reanalyzed existing data and collected new data for the main experiment in Figure 9. All the statistical relationships we reported remain true, with one exception: the very small aftereffect for the mf-cf condition in Figure 4e is now significant (because the variability is small). However, the aftereffect for the mf-cf condition is indeed significantly smaller than that for the mf-mf condition. Therefore, all our original reported conclusions remain correct.
