Ben Deen: Multivoxel Pattern Analysis for Understanding Representational Content

Topics: Motivation for multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA); correlation based classification analysis; results of analysis of EBA and pSTS cortical regions: EBA patterns carry information about body pose that is invariant to body motion kinematics, pSTS patterns carry information about body motion kinematics that is invariant to body pose; examples of other MVPA results; application of different kinds of classifiers; pattern resolution; representational similarity analysis; RSA example: gaze direction codes
