The fMRI results in Experiment 2
| Area | Left/Right | Volume (mm3) | x | y | z | Max t value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High > low EL cue | — | — | — | — | — | — |
| High go > low go | — | — | — | — | — | — |
| Successful change > Goa | ||||||
| Pre-SMA | Right | 158 | 6 | 17 | 55 | 6.59 |
| Inferior frontal gyrus | Right | 326 | 50 | 14 | 6 | 7.02 |
| Inferior frontal gyrus | Left | 162 | −49 | 13 | 7 | 6.73 |
| Insula | Right | 178 | 32 | 20 | 4 | 6.01 |
| Insula | Left | 669 | −34 | 19 | 5 | 6.97 |
| Precentral gyrus | Right | 277 | 38 | 1 | 35 | 8.23 |
| Unsuccessful > successful change | ||||||
| ACC | Right | 309 | 3 | 38 | 25 | 5.87 |
| Medial frontal gyrus (BA8) | — | 169 | 0 | 22 | 43 | 5.83 |
| Insula | Right | 186 | 36 | 17 | 16 | 6.97 |
| Inferior parietal lobule | Left | 272 | −51 | −35 | 25 | 7.06 |
Note: All regions are P < 0.0005 (uncorrected, voxel contiguity = 120 mm3). Areas in the pMFC are boldfaced. BA = Brodmann area.
For this contrast, brain areas with y < −30 are not reported; activations in posterior areas likely reflect the visual processing of the change signal, which was present on successful change trials but not on go trials.
