Neural response to unexpected versus expected events. Sections show neural response to unexpected versus expected oral stimuli ([UnSwt + UnTless] − [ExpSwt + ExpTless]) in right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), bilateral anterior insula (AI), bilateral ventroposteromedial (VPM), thalamus, bilateral VS, left OFC, and right IPS. The bar graphs show (on the y-axis) the percentage signal change for the expected (dark gray bars) and unexpected (light gray bars) events (±SEM), averaged over subjects. Stimuli are shown on the x-axis. The response was taken from the voxel that responded maximally within the significant cluster, as identified in the SPM analysis. The color bar depicts T values.
