To mitigate this confounding effect, we matched face-selective sites to their closest task-active sites in terms of y -coordinate (up to 2 mm difference), and found that the time of activation in face-selective sites trended earlier than anatomically matched adjacent non-selective sites but this difference did not reach statistical significance (paired Wilcoxon signed-rank, p = 0.1631, n = 32 face sites, and n = 19 task-active sites).
