Representational Similarity Analysis

Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) is a framework for comparing representational geometry across brain regions, computational models, and behavioral measures. Introduced by Kriegeskorte and colleagues in 2008, RSA measures how similarly a brain region represents different stimuli or concepts by examining pairwise similarity structure rather than absolute activity patterns.
