Significant activations for the contrast, “superior player > inferior player”, consistently observed in both Experiment #1 (top) and Experiment #2 (bottom). Significant (P < 0.005, FDR-corrected) activations were observed in occipital/parietal cortex (Experiment #1: [−24, −96, 9; 42, −81, −6]; Experiment #2: [−27, −93, 6; 36, −93, 3]), 35 dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (Experiment #1: [−36, 3, 42; 42, 30, 21]; Experiment #2: [45, 9, 27]), parahippocampal cortex (Experiment #1: [−21, −27, −9; 27, −24, −12]; Experiment #2: [−24, −27, −12; 27, −21, −15]), and ventral striatum (Experiment #1: [−3, 15, −6; 6, 18, −3]; Experiment #2: [9, 9, −3]).
