Whole-brain activation (TFCE corrected, p < 0.05) that discriminates the face stimuli from house stimuli. Coordinates are in MNI space and indicate the voxel with the highest z value for each significant cluster. Minimum cluster size reported here: k > 10. Labels are derived from the Harvard-Oxford cortical and subcortical atlases. L, Left; R, right; COG, Center of Gravity.
