R, right; L, left; STG/S, superior temporal gyrus/sulcus.

*Cluster not affected by an inclusive mask (P = 0.001) of the (light onset × blue × time) contrast, indicating that the light condition effect was driven by blue light onset × time.

Clusters not affected by an exclusive mask (P = 0.05) of the (light onset × green × time) contrast, indicating that the light condition effect was not driven by green light onset × time.

Peak voxel surviving an inclusive mask (P = 0.001) of the (voice stimuli > EN) or (voice stimuli > F0) contrasts of the voice localizer session (task 2), thus showing voice-sensitive response.

§Clusters not surviving an inclusive mask (P = 0.001) of the (voice stimuli > EN) or (voice stimuli > F0) contrasts of the voice localizer session (task 2), thus outside voice-sensitive regions.

Clusters not affected by an exclusive mask (P = 0.05) of the [neutral × (blue > green)] contrast, indicating that the light condition effect was specific to the emotional (angry prosody) stimuli.

Clusters not affected by an exclusive mask (P = 0.05) of the [PPI with the left STS × neutral × (blue > green)] contrast, indicating that the light condition effect on functional connectivity was specific to the emotional (angry prosody) stimuli.

**Cluster not affected by an exclusive mask (P = 0.05) of the (PPI with the right STG × anger x green) contrast, suggesting that the effect is specific to the blue light condition.

††Cluster not affected by an exclusive mask (P = 0.05) of the (PPI with the right STS × neutral x blue) contrast, indicating that this effect was specific to the emotional (angry prosody) stimuli.
