Trait paranoia modulates patterns of inter-subject correlation during narrative listening. a Results from a whole-brain, voxelwise contrast revealing brain regions that are more synchronized between pairs of high-paranoia participants than pairs of low-paranoia participants (contrast schematized in top panel, cf. Fig. 1c). Significant clusters were detected in the left temporal pole, two regions in the right medial prefrontal cortex (one anterior and one dorsal and posterior), and the left precuneus. No clusters were detected in the opposite direction (low > high). b Results from two whole-brain, voxelwise contrasts revealing brain regions that are more synchronized within a paranoia group than across paranoia groups. The first contrast (cool colors) revealed that left lateral occipital cortex was more synchronized within the low-paranoia group (i.e., low–low pairs) than across groups (i.e., high–low pairs; contrast schematized in top panel, cf. Fig. 1c). The second contrast (warm colors) revealed that right angular gyrus was more synchronized within the high-paranoia group (i.e., high–high pairs) than across groups. For all three contrasts, results are shown at an initial threshold of p < 0.002 with cluster correction corresponding to p < 0.05
