Pictorial ROI results. Localized activity is shown for the three ROIs for which we observed significant combinatorial activity during basic linguistic composition – the left ATL (A), vmPFC (B), and left AG (C) – and one ROI intended to capture activity related to perceptual processing of the stimuli – the left MFG (D). The shaded region denotes a significant cluster of increased activity in the vmPFC during the Colored Shape condition, as identified by a permutation test (Maris and Oostenveld, 2007). The boxed regions denote clusters of increased activity during the Outline condition for the other ROIs. Only the cluster in the left AG was significant, while those in the left ATL and left MFG were marginal. ns, Non-significant; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
