| −16 | −62 | −11 | 108 | −0.84 | cerebellum | L | |
| 5 | −87 | 18 | 193 | −0.88 | occipital cortex | R | 17/18/23 |
| −43 | −15 | 41 | 40 | −0.90 | precentral cortex (MI) | L | 4 |
| −4 | −77 | 39 | 106 | −0.91 | parietal cortex/occipital cortex | L | 19/7 |
| 14 | −55 | −8 | 211 | −0.96 | cerebellum | R | 19 |
Listed are clusters of activation with an uncorrected cluster threshold of p < 0.01. Talairach coordinates are provided for the maxima of the respective cluster. The corresponding neuroanatomical regions, the Brodmann areas, and the laterality (L, left; R, right) are described.
