Effects of the letter string type on MEG source estimates: group average dynamic statistical parametric maps (dSPMs) of estimated responses to the four conditions across time under placebo. Subsequent to the early visual response (100 – 180 ms), activity spreads via the left-lateralized ventral visual stream encompassing frontotemporal areas. Activity during the 450 – 550 ms in the left LTC is the strongest to AW and weakest to PN. In contrast, the activity in the right LTC is uniquely sensitive to NN. Response preparation is reflected in the enhanced activity to RW and AW in the left and the right hand motor areas respectively. The maps reflect group averages of individual dSPM values (√F). Occ: occipital area; LTC: lateral temporal cortex; avPFC: anteroventral prefrontal cortex; Mot: hand motor area. RW: real words; AW: animal words; PN: pronounceable nonwords (pseudowords); NN: nonpronounceable nonwords.
