Paradigm design^* and activated areas for the Petersen et al. (11) study

Active state	Control state	Activated areas
Passive words	Fixation point	Visual: bilateral primary and extrastriate regions
		Auditory: bilateral primary auditory and association areas
Repeat/read words	Passive words	Visual + auditory: bilateral primary motor cortex, insula, premotor, SMA, medial cerebellum
Generate verbs	Repeat/read words	Visual + auditory: left prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate, right cerebellum

All subtractions are made within modality of presentation. SMA, supplementary motor area. 

^*Each task (except fixation point) was performed in a set of scans with visual presentation as well as in a set of scans with auditory presentation.
