Group average activation peaks for the contrasts testing for candidate multisensory regions (i.e., responding to both visual and auditory unimodal conditions relative to unstimulated baseline) or for sensory-specific regions (i.e., significant effect of visual minus auditory stimulation or vice versa). Only clusters containing >20 voxels are described (see Materials and Methods). MNI, Montreal Neurological Institute.
aCandidate multisensory areas: conjunction of unimodal auditory condition minus baseline and unimodal visual condition minus baseline.
bVisual sensory-specific cortex: unimodal visual minus unimodal auditory conditions.
cAuditory sensory-specific cortex: unimodal auditory minus unimodal visual conditions.
