Notes: Regions of interest were derived from the passive viewing localizer task. n, number of participants producing a statistically reliable region of interest. Talairach coordinates follow the convention of the Talairach and Tournoux atlas (Talairach and Tournoux, 1988). Positive coordinate values indicate left (x), anterior (y), and superior (z). Coordinates are provided for the estimated centroid of the ROI cluster and the location of the voxel showing the greatest intensity difference within the cluster (e.g., “hot spot”). Volume: mean volume of the region of interest. Maximum intensity difference: percent signal difference of faces versus diverse objects and scrambled stimuli (FFA and OFA) or diverse objects versus scrambled stimuli (LOC) at the voxel with the greatest activation difference within the ROI. SD: standard deviation.
