Cortical processing for spoken language. (A) Differential activation by subject-relative sentences > noise highlights brain areas involved in intelligible speech processing. (B) A similar map was obtained for object-relative sentences > noise. (C) Directly comparing object-relative sentences to subject-relative sentences shows the effect of syntactic complexity. z-maps are thresholded at voxelwise p<0.001 (z = 3.1) and (corrected) cluster significance threshold of p<0.05. These are results obtained from the oxy-hemoglobin signal.
