Results of the whole-brain random-effects analysis. Bilateral areas of the fusiform gyrus showed significantly lower activation for noisy relative to intact faces (A), while larger responses to noisy than intact faces were found bilaterally in the middle occipital gyrus (B). Statistical maps are displayed with pFDR < 0.05 on the smoothed ICBM152 brain (Mazziotta et al., 1995, 2001a, b). lFG, left fusiform gyrus; rFG, right fusiform gyrus; lMOG, left middle occipital gyrus; rMOG, right middle occipital gyrus.
