Emotion evaluation networks: fourfold conjunction. The fourfold conjunction (Voice emotion > Voice gender) ∩ (Face emotion > Face gender) ∩ (Congruent emotion > Congruent gender) ∩ (Incongruent emotion > Incongruent gender) confirmed bilateral anterior insula, right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), and pre‐supplementary motor area (SMA) as an emotion evaluation network irrespective of stimulus modality and congruency of target concepts. This network thus reflects the top‐down contribution of attentional focus during emotion evaluation. In all regions of this network, angry voices evoked the strongest response (a.u. = arbitrary units, derived from mean beta values from the first level general linear models [GLMs]). No such attention‐driven network was observed for gender evaluation
