    Figure 1.

    Face and motion selectivity in the macaque temporal lobe. a, Left, Face-selective regions in one representative hemisphere (M1, right), on a flattened cortical surface. The color bar indicates the negative common logarithm of the probability of error. Sulci: sts, superior temporal; sf, sylvian fissure. Right, Time courses of fMRI signal for one representative region (ML). Colored epochs distinguish stimulation blocks. Block types are indicated with symbols below the time axis for clarity. b, Map of the strength of motion responses. Face-selective regions are represented by black outlines. The color bar indicates the magnitude of the response to motion (difference between the response to moving and static non-face objects) in units of percentage signal change. c, Face selectivity map, similar to a, but comparing moving faces to moving objects in Experiment 2. Black outlines as in b. AM falls partially outside the functional volume.

    Figure 2.

    Responses to moving and static faces and objects in the macaque face patch system. a, Group analysis responses to (from left to right) static faces, static non-face objects, moving faces, and moving non-face objects in percentage signal change from scrambled stimuli baseline in temporal lobe face patches. *p < 0.05, significant differences from 0 (Bonferroni-corrected for comparisons on multiple ROIs). b, Group analysis of (from left to right) the main effects of shape category, motion condition, and their interaction. Error bars indicate SE. *p < 0.05, significant differences from 0 (Bonferroni-corrected for comparisons on multiple ROIs).

    Figure 3.

    Responses to moving and static faces and objects in human face areas. a, Face-selective regions on the flattened surface of the posterior right hemisphere of a representative human subject. Color bar as in Figure 1a. Sulci: los, lateral occipital; sts, superior temporal; lots, lateral occipitotemporal; cos, collateral. b, Group analysis of responses. Conventions as in Figure 2a. c, Group analysis of main effects and interaction. Conventions as in Figure 2b.
