Group differences in hand-sensitive activation^a

Spatial extent test/cluster size (mm3)	p values	MNI coordinates			Z value	Hemisphere	Anatomical region
		x	y	z
Greater hand sensitivity in the sighted than in the blind (Fig. 6)
496	<0.05*	−40	−74	−2	3.4	L	Middle occipital gyrus (EBA)
Greater hand sensitivity in the blind than in the sighted (Fig. 8)
1800	<0.01	−54	−56	36	4.6	L	Angular gyrus

^aIn this analysis, we included both congenitally and noncongenitally blind individuals. The activation was thresholded at p < 0.05, corrected for multiple comparisons, with the height threshold set at Z > 2.58. x, y, and z are stereotaxic coordinates (mm). R, Right; L, left.

*The search volume for activation was limited to the EBA in each hemisphere as defined by an independent visual localizer (ROI analysis).
