We Greatly Regret That There Are Errors in the Article "the Role of Background Statistics in Face Adaptation"

Adaptation" by Jianhua Wu, Hong Xu, Peter Dayan, and Ning Qian, Journal of Neuroscience, 2009, 20(39): 12035-12044. (1) The program that calculated the summary data in Figs. 7 and 9, and in panel e of Figs. 3, 4, and 6 subtracted a baseline incorrectly. (2) Some individual subjects' curves in Supplemental Figs. 1, 2 and 4 were mixed-up. We have re-analyzed existing data, and collected new data for the main experiment in Fig. 9. All the statistical relationships we reported remain true, with one exception: the very small aftereffect for the mf-cf condition in Fig. 4e is now significant (because the variability is small). However, the aftereffect for the mf-cf condition is indeed significantly smaller than that for the mf-mf condition. Therefore, all our original reported conclusions remain correct.
