Statistics of hemodynamic results. The table shows statistics for positive clusters of significant fNIRS hemodynamic activity in the right hemisphere for three contrasts: human eye-contact > baseline (top); robot eye-contact > baseline (middle); and human eye-contact > robot eye-contact (bottom). (Column 1) the name of the cortical feature where the cluster is located. (Column 2) the maximum T statistic found within the cluster. (Column 3) the significance p-value, shown uncorrected. (Column 4–6) three dimensional coordinates in X, Y, and Z dimensions, given in Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space. X indicates right-left; Y indicates front-back; Z indicates up-down. (Column 7) the number of voxels in that cluster that reach significance. The superior temporal gyrus and supramarginal gyrus are the anatomical features of the temporoparietal junction (rTPJ). Analyses utilized a cluster size threshold of 20.
