Random effects fMRI activation maps obtained from within‐stimulus comparison of discrimination judgments of sentence focus relative to the control condition (passive listening) for the Chinese and English stimuli. Left and right sagittal sections in a standard stereotactic space are superimposed onto a representative brain anatomy (upper half: x = ±46; lower half: x = ±52). pMTG, posterior superior temporal gyrus; SMG, supramarginal gyrus. A leftward asymmetry is observed in the SMG (x = ±46) and pMTG (x = ±52). Comparisons of mean z scores between hemispheres (LH, RH) per tasks (SF, ST) and language stimuli (Chinese, English) are shown in bar charts for the SMG (upper right) and pMTG (lower right) ROIs.
