Notes: Coordinates refer to the MNI (Montreal Neurological Institute) stereotaxic space. Whole-brain analysis thresholded at P < 0.05, FWE corrected with a voxel extent of ≥10. The contrasts between parentheses refer to the Prime and Target in the Repeated Trait/Repeated Person, Repeated Trait/Different Person, No Trait/Different Person conditions, respectively. PCC = posterior cingulate cortex, L = left, R = right. Superscripts indicate the cluster peaks that show the expected repetition suppression pattern for t trait and p person.

*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (FWE peak corrected).
