Left, response selectivity of neurons to specific word features (phonemes, syllables and morphemes) is visualized across the population using a tSNE procedure (that is, neurons with similar response characteristics were plotted in closer proximity). The hue of each point reflects the degree of selectivity to a particular sublexical feature whereas the size of each point reflects the degree to which those features explained neuronal response. Inset, the relative proportions of neurons showing selectivity and their overlap. Right, the D 2 metric (the degree to which specific features explained neuronal response) for each cell shown individually per feature.
