No statistically significant clusters were found outside of the anatomically defined a priori regions of interest. Modified f2 values were calculated using program at http://hermanaguinis.com/mmr/fsquared/based on procedures described in Aguinis H, Pierce CA. Computation of effect size for moderating effects of categorical variables in multiple regression. Appl Psychol Meas 2006;30:440–442.
