Calculating the negative correlation of the three seeds in task-free state demonstrated that the emotional and the cognition network have contrary activation patterns, which might not only be activated in a special fMRI-task, but also in a task-free state. a) Higher concurrent cognitive demand modulated activation in emotional areas (amygdalae and OFC) and evoked stronger activation in the superior parietal lobe and the premotor cortex. b) Functional connectivity analysis, assessing regions whose resting-state time-courses were significantly anti-correlated with those of the seeds. c) Conjunction over regions increasing their activity when going from an easy to a more challenging working-memory task (during which activity in the seeds was attenuated) and anti-correlations with the three seed regions where affective processing is susceptible to attenuation by concurrent cognition.
