↵aNumber of word-, face-, and house-selective electrodes in the left (L) and right (R) hemisphere of each iEEG participant out of the total number of implanted VTC electrodes. All participants underwent a category localizer task (CL) from which word-, face-, and house-selectivity was determined by comparing electrode responses to six categories of objects (see Materials and Methods; Fig. 1B). The table indicates whether any word-selective electrodes were medial to any face-selective electrodes in participants that had at least one word- and one face-selective electrode within the same hemisphere. The table also indicates whether there was alternation of word- and face-selective electrodes along the medial to lateral axis within participants that had at least two word-selective electrodes and one face-selective electrode within the same hemisphere or vice-versa. Participants with insufficient coverage of word or face-selective regions to determine their relative anatomic location are listed as not available (NA). A subset of participants also participated in a face individuation task (FID) or word individuation task (WID) from which the individuation capacity of word- and face-selective electrodes was tested. Participants illustrated in figures are noted next to the corresponding participant number.
