Abstract

A key challenge in systems neuroscience remains to understand where, when and now particularly *how* brain networks compute over sensory inputs to achieve behavior. We used XOR, OR and AND functions as behavioral tasks, because each requires a different computation over the same inputs to produce correct outputs. In each task, source-localized magnetoencephalographic activity progresses through four systems-level computations identified within individual participants (N = 10/task): (1) linear discrimination of each visual input, first contra-laterally in occipital cortex then (2) jointly in midline occipital cortex and right fusiform gyrus, followed by (3) nonlinear task-dependent input integration in temporal-parietal cortex and finally (4) behavioral response representation in post-central gyrus. Our results show how network algorithms differently compute over the same inputs to produce different behaviors. ### One sentence summary Four stages of task-specific computations over the same visual inputs achieve different behaviors in dynamic brain networks
