Left Volume activation maps of the saliency-sensitive response in the foreground ROIs of V1, V2, and IPS for a representative participant. Red lines indicate the boundary between gray matter (GM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Yellow lines indicate the boundary between GM and white matter (WM). Right: Lefthand column: Surface activation maps of saliency-sensitive response ( in percent signal change) in different cortical depths of V1 in the same representative participant. Dashed circles indicate the location of foreground on the cortical surface. Righthand column: Saliency maps (averaged across all participants) in image space
