Table 2.

Results of contrasts based on Intelligibility. Coordinates and statistics are given for peak voxels and local maxima more than 8mm apart. The last column shows the voxelwise significance level, to 3 decimal places. Coordinates are given in Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) stereotactic space. STS = superior temporal sulcus, STG = superior temporal gyrus, IFG = inferior frontal gyrus.
