ISC for task effects. Thirty-six participants watched 6 video clips of 2 narrations each during fMRI scanning. Task effects on the inter-subject covariance (ISC) were modeled with predictors for the “CON,” “ANY,” and “REL” tasks compared to the across-task condition. The ANOVA including the intercept revealed an involvement of a distributed network with highest synchronous activity in auditory areas followed by the visual areas. Compared to previous ISC studies, the high involvement of frontal areas is remarkable (p_FWE < 0.05).
