  1. Correlation between alignment-to-class and alignment-to-experts is shown during lectures and during the exam. Results are shown in DMN ROIs as well as in control regions (text in italics) in sensory cortex (visual, intracalcarine cortex; auditory, Heschl’s gyrus) and in subcortex (amygdala). Asterisks denote significant correlation (one-sided permutation test, corrected across ROIs). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, n.s. not significant.
