Table 1.

Audiomotor expertise: regions where violinists showed more activation for violin music than actors (FWE-corrected P < 0.05) and actors showed greater activation for dramatic speech than music (P < 0.001 voxelwise).

Regions within the performing arts training network were excluded (see Table 3). Z-score is for peak voxel within cluster. Cluster size is FWE-corrected P < 0.05, with a height threshold of P < 0.001. Last 4 columns show Z-scores of main effects of stimulus for each group with corresponding baseline condition subtracted; n.s. = not significant at voxelwise P < 0.001. Left hemisphere (LH) homologue to right mid-STS activation is significant only when uncorrected for multiple comparisons (P = 0.0001). Abbreviations: Hemi = hemisphere; Clust size = cluster size; Vln = violin music; Spch = dramatic speech; V = violinists; A = actors.
