Multivariate pattern dependence
Fig 4
MVPD calculated after removing the univariate signal, in coronal (A), axial (B), and sagittal left (C) and right (D) views.
In this analysis, the average timecourse in the seed and each sphere is zero, and only the patterns of responses are left. As a consequence, this analysis is fully complementary to standard functional connectivity. Even after removing the univariate signal, MVPD detected significant statistical dependence between the right pSTS and posterior cingulate as well as the left STS.
