Fig. 2.

Localizations of brain regions revealed by between-group contrasts during humor comprehension process. Images of the localizations of brain regions activations (upper panels: sagittal and coronal planes; left bottom: transverse plane) were obtained by XjView toolbox (http://www.alivelearn.net/xjview). Each right bottom panel: mean group beta values (± SEM) averaged from the whole analyzed cluster volume presented as arbitrary units. Statistical analysis utilized a non-parametric whole-brain voxel-wise Pseudo-t-test. Localizations are reported as local maximum threshold with k ≥ 10 voxels extent threshold and with False Discovery Rate (FDR) correction at alpha = 0.0500, or uncorrected at alpha = 0.0010. L – left hemisphere; R – right hemisphere; BA – Brodmann's area; k – number of voxels in analyzed cluster size; MNI - Montreal Neurological Institute coordinates; pSTG – posterior Superior Temporal Gyrus; dmMFG – dorsomedial Middle Frontal Gyrus; dACC – dorsal Anterior Cingulate Cortex.
