Result summary for the hypotheses A–F

Hypothesis Results Confirmed?
A: Contrast 1 > Contrast 2 C1 > C2 in Heschl's  gyrus (bilateral); trend in bilateral STG Yes for Heschl's gyrus
 [WoSil > Sil] > [WoRecSBN > RecSBN]
B: Contrast 1 >/< Contrast 4 C1 = C4 for all ROIs No
 [WoSil > Sil] >/< [RecSBN > Sil]
C: Contrast 6 > Contrast 4 C6 > C4 in STG (bilateral);  also trend in STG (bilateral) for [(C6–C4) < C1] Yes for STG
 [WoRecSBN > Sil] > [RecSBN > Sil]
D: Contrast 1 > Contrast 5 C1 > C5 in Heschl's gyrus (bilateral); trend was seen in bilateral STG Yes for Heschl's gyurs
 [WoSil > Sil] > [WoSil > RecSBN]
E: Contrast 6 = Contrast 1 C6 > C1 in Heschl's gyrus  (bilateral); trend in left STG Yes for STG
 [WoRecSBN > Sil] = [WoSil > Sil]
Follow up on E: (Contrast 6 – Contrast 1) = Contrast 4 [(C6–C1)] < C4 in Heschl's  gyrus (bilateral); trend inright STG Yes for Heschl's gyrus
 ([WoRecSBN > Sil] – [WoSil > Sil]) = RecSBN > Sil)
F: Contrast 4 > Contrast 3 C4 > C3 in Heschl's  gyrus (left and right); trend in STG (bilateral) Yes for Heschl's gyrus
 [RecSBN > Sil] > [ WoRecSBN > WoSil]

WoSil, words contrasted with silence; RecSBN, recorded scanner background noise; WoRecSBN, words contrasted with silence; Sil, silence; ROI, region of interest; STG, superior temporal gyrus.
