title: Task relevance modulates the representation of features and feature dimensions
in the target template
description: Little is known about the cortical regions involved in representing task-related
content in preparation for visual task performance. Here we used representational
similarity analysis (RSA) to investigate the BOLD response pattern similarity between
task relevant and task irrelevant feature dimensions during conjunction viewing
and target template maintenance prior to visual search. Subjects were cued to search
for a spatial frequency (SF) or orientation of a Gabor grating and we measured BOLD
signal during cue and delay periods before the onset of a search display. RSA of
delay period activity revealed that widespread regions in frontal, posterior parietal,
and occipitotemporal cortices showed general representational differences between
task relevant and task irrelevant dimensions (e.g., orientation vs. SF). In contrast,
RSA of cue period activity revealed sensory-related representational differences
between cue images (regardless of task) at the occipital pole and additionally in
the frontal pole. Our data show that task and sensory information are represented
differently during viewing and during target template maintenance, and that task
relevance modulates the representation of visual information across the cortex.
