Multivariate pattern analysis of fMRI: The early beginnings
Open accessAbstract
In 2001, we published a paper on the representation of faces and objects in ventral temporal cortex that introduced a new method for fMRI analysis, which subsequently came to be called multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA). MVPA now refers to a diverse set of methods that analyze neural responses as patterns of activity that reflect the varying brain states that a cortical field or system can produce. This paper recounts the circumstances and events that led to the original study and later developments and innovations that have greatly expanded this approach to fMRI data analysis, leading to its widespread application.

“As we were still puzzling over our initial results, others published reports on a specialized area in the fusiform gyrus that responded more during face perception tasks than during perception of other objects (Kanwisher et al., 1997; McCarthy et al., 1997; Puce et al., 2006).”

“Moreover, it may be discussed whether indeed something like “the” true location of an effect exists, given recent accounts of distributed coding and representation (Bzdok et al., 2015; Haxby, 2012; Kriegeskorte, 2009; Rissman and Wagner, 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
