Figure S2.  Comparison of decoding accuracy levels for three different classifiers for basic sample-stimulus category information, for ITC (A), and PFC (B).  The magenta line is the classification accuracy obtained using correlation coefficient classifier, the orange line is the classification accuracy obtained using support vector machine (SVM) and the green line is the classification accuracy obtained using a Poisson Naïve Bayes classifier.  As can be seen, while the mean accuracy level varies depending on which classifier is used, the trends over time remain the same, which gives us confidence that the conclusions we draw in this paper are not dependent on the classifier used since always compare results using the same classifier through the paper.  It should be noted that the regularization parameter was not optimized for the SVM which could account for its overall lower accuracy level.
