At this point it is useful to introduce the idea of an active neural representation. To illustrate, although Riggall and Postle (2012) contrasted signal intensity, a traditional index of “activation,” versus classifiability, it is important to note that successful classification also depended on evaluation of levels of activity within individual voxels. Thus, there is an important distinction to be made between signal‐intensity‐based activation, which can be construed as a first‐order physiological property,3 and a multivariate‐pattern‐based neural representation, a second‐order property (not just activity, but the pattern of activity) that is detectable with MVPA but not with univariate approaches.
Maguire and colleagues tested these theories by acquiring fMRI data while participants judged the accuracy of sen tences about four different types of information: autobiographical events, public events, autobiographical facts, and general knowledge. They then defined a memory retrieval network by comparing activity common to all four of these types of sentence against a scrambled sentence baseline condition. This network included medial frontal cortex, left temporal pole, left hippocampus, left anterolateral middle temporal gyrus, parahip pocampal cortex, posterior cingulate, retrosplenial cortex, and temporoparietal junction.

For example, Linden and colleagues (2012) have reported a failure with MVPA to recover delay‐period stimulus category information from frontal and parietal cortex, and Christophel, Hebart, and Haynes (2012) reported a failure to recover delay‐period information specific to complex artificial visual stimuli from frontal cortex.
