Contrasts were whole‐brain corrected at a family‐wise alpha of 0.05. For each contrast, activations are ordered from rostral to caudal.

IPL, inferior parietal lobule; PCC, posterior cingulate cortex; PCG, postcentral gyrus; LOC, lateral occipital complex; MFG, middle frontal gyrus; PMTC, posterior middle temporal cortex; SFG, superior frontal gyrus; IFG, inferior frontal gyrus.
