Note. For the hypothesized language regions (a), significance threshold is p<.05 (corrected); for the nonlinguistic speech regions (b), p<.001 (uncorrected); for all other regions (c), p<.0001 (uncorrected). Cluster extent for language areas is calculated at the .01 significance levels; all other clusters are calculated at the .001 level. All subthresholding trends are listed in italic font, for the purpose of showing the sign/direction of the activations. BA = Brodmann area; L = left hemisphere; R = Right Hemisphere; P = Posterior; A = Anterior, S = Superior; M = Middle; TMA = Transverse Temporal Gyrus; PC = Postcentral Gyrus; SMA = Supplementary Motor Area; pSTG = posterior Superior Temporal Gyrus; SMG = Supra Marginal Gyrus; *−p<.01; **−p<.001; ***−p<.0001.
