  1. Largest clusters of significantly stronger activity of M versus Ns computed for the six selected automated anatomical (AAL) regions of interest (ROIs): left Heschl’s gyrus (LHG), right Heschl’s gyrus (RHG), left hippocampus (LHP), right hippocampus (RHP), anterior cingulate gyrus (ACC), and medial cingulate gyrus (MC). The table shows the contrast (two-sided t-tests), the onset of the first varied note in the N sequence, the correspondent ROI, the temporal extent (in ms) of the largest cluster, the peak t-value of the cluster and the associated Monte-Carlo simulations (MCS) p-value. The MC shows stronger negativity since the polarity of the MC signal was primarily negative, thus stronger activity in the MC for M versus N was indicated by a more pronounced negativity for M compared to N. All the other significant clusters, for both the selected six and the remaining AAL ROIs, are reported in detail in Supplementary Data 6 and 7.
