  1. Note: coordinates are reported in MNI space as given by SPM8, main effect at pFWE-CORRECTED < 0.05 and t-contrasts at pUNCORRECTED < 0.005, expected voxels per cluster k = 11 for main effect and k = 14 for t-contrasts, second‐level analysis (random effect analysis, full factorial, and t tests). Coordinates are reported in MNI space as given by SPM8. Anatomical labels are based on the AAL (automated anatomical labeling) atlas (Tzourio-Mazoyer et al., 2002). The first label represents the location of the peak activation, additional labels denote submaxima if located in a different brain region.
