we looked for areas exhibiting a parametric response to buildings in the non-<br />

architects compared to architects we found no areas correlating significantly<br />

with such a response profile.<br />

We next investigated the control stimuli (faces) in order to identify potential<br />

brain activity for which the difference between the responses to face stimuli<br />

varied across the two groups of subjects. As noted, if there is no difference<br />

associated with the assessment of the aesthetic value of the faces, at the same<br />

time as there is a difference in the assessment of the value of the buildings,<br />

this is prima facie support for the expertise hypothesis. As with the building<br />

stimuli, we looked for brain areas that scaled linearly with preference for face<br />

stimuli by subtracting architects from non-architects and the converse<br />

subtraction, non-architects from architects, but here we found no significant<br />

difference for any of the subtractions (p
