Correlations between left and right activity of each vOT region during the eight conditions

Conditions	Correlations
	Left/right posterior vOT	Left/right middle vOT	Left/right anterior vOT
Reading: words	r = 0.15	r = 0.22	r = 0.33
	p > 0.1	p > 0.05	p = 0.002
Naming: pictures	r = 0.63	r = 0.33	r = 0.25
	p < 0.001	p = 0.002	p = 0.02
Say “1, 2, 3”: symbols	r = 0.44	r = 0.38	r = 0.23
	p < 0.001	p < 0.001	p = 0.05
Say “1, 2, 3”: nonobjects	r = 0.54	r = 0.45	r = 0.37
	p < 0.001	p < 0.001	p < 0.001
Semantic matching: words	r = 0.48	r = 0.18	r = 0.08
	p < 0.001	p > 0.1	p > 0.1
Semantic matching: pictures	r = 0.46	r = 0.37	r = 0.33
	p < 0.001	p < 0.001	p = 0.002
Perceptual matching: symbols	r = 0.50	r = 0.46	r = 0.27
	p < 0.001	p < 0.001	p = 0.01
Perceptual matching: nonobjects	r = 0.44	r = 0.43	r = 0.30
	p < 0.001	p < 0.001	p = 0.006

The correlations were assessed across all our 82 subjects. Boldface represents correlations that are not significant at p < 0.05, uncorrected.
