Drug comparison of change in cluster size (spatial extent of auditory activation) within the auditory cortex. The difference column is calculated by subtracting the cluster size change (sedation minus baseline) of each drug (dexmedetomidine, midazolam, propofol) from the cluster size change (repeat minus baseline) in the saline control group.
