Vertex-wise peak t-value across three different epochs, summarizing the time-course of t-statistics. Above the surface rendering of each effect, cognitive implications of incremental constraints are illustrated: 1) activation of broad constraints primarily in right mid-anterior temporal lobe, which additionally engages left temporal and right inferior frontal regions possibly due to the grammatical category and adjacency of a word (CN) being constrained; 2) developing constraints recruits LIFG-LATL regions that reduce the amount of uncertainty (competition) in the activated constraints; and 3) as a constrained word (CN) is being heard, the specific constraint interacts with the bottom-up input, facilitating its processing in posterior middle temporal and inferior parietal areas.
