Analysis overview. (a) For the Auditory Description Decision Task (ADDT; left), we left-right flipped the activation map for each control participant, and left the activation map for each left hemisphere perinatal stroke participant (LHPS). For the Emotional Prosody Decision Task (EPDT; right), we did not flip the activation maps for controls or LHPS participants. (b) We masked activation for both tasks in anatomical regions of interest and then (c) applied a top voxel cutoff to equalize the quantity of activation within each of these regions for all participants’ activation maps for both tasks. (d) Finally, we calculated the spatial overlap between the two activation maps (ADDT and EPDT) for each participant with a dice coefficient.
