Table 1.

Areas of significant brain activation for the analysis of state fatigue during the N-Back task. ‘BA’ denotes Brodmann Area; ‘X’, ‘Y’, and ‘Z’ denote the location of the voxel in the cluster with the highest activation; ‘Voxels’ denotes the number of voxels in each cluster; ‘F stat.’ denotes the F-statistic associated with the voxel of highest activation.
