Orthographic and non-orthographic visuo-dynamic stimuli in deaf native signers and hearing non-signers (n = 26)

	Size	x	y	z	BA
voxels/cm3
Main effect of group: Deaf > Hearing
L middle occipital/inferior temporal gyri*	259/69.93	− 47	− 63	− 7	19/37
R fusiform/inferior temporal gyri*	122/32.94	43	− 56	− 10	37
Main effect of Visual Input Form: FS > SL
L middle occipital/inferior temporal gyri*	129/34.83	− 47	− 63	− 7	19/37
R fusiform gyrus**	111/29.97	40	− 59	− 13	37

Interaction
L inferior temporal gyrus*	97/26.19	− 43	− 67	0	37
R middle occipital/inferior temporal gyri*	123/33.21	43	− 59	− 3	19/37

Coordinates report maxima of 3-D clusters. L = left. R = right. FS = fingerspelled English words. SL = signed language (BSL). Voxelwise P = 0.05; clusterwise P = 0.005.

* Indicates focal coordinates consistent with the VWFA (or its right hemisphere homologue). ** Indicates clusters in which there are subpeaks consistent with the VWFA (or its right hemisphere homologue).
