TL;DR: The findings reveal a striking convergence of fMRI, ECoG, and EBS, which together offer a rare causal link between functional subsets of the human FG network and face perception.

TL;DR: Because visual numerals are culturally dependent symbols that are only learned through education, the novel finding of anatomically localized preferential response to such symbols provides a new example of acquired category-specific responses in the human visual system.

TL;DR: The relationship between correlative versus causal nature of ECoG and EBS is examined, and important insight is provided into the differential roles of the right versus left FG in conscious face perception.

TL;DR: The relationship between electric field potentials measured with electrocorticography (ECoG) and the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) response measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is investigated.

TL;DR: The results suggest that ECoG is a plausible source of command signals for prosthetic grasp selection and avenues remain for improvement through better electrode designs and placement, better participant training, and characterization of non-stationarities such that E coG could be a viable signal source for grasp control for amputees or individuals with paralysis.
