Block-averaged fNIRS responses from study 2. Panels (A) and (B) plot the group means (lines) and standard error of the means (SEMs, shaded areas) of the ΔHbO (red, solid lines), ΔHbR responses (blue, dot lines), and the cerebral oxygenation (yellow, dash lines), i.e., ΔHbC, in the shuffled (S), vocoded (V), shuffled-vocoded (SV), and vocoded-interrupted (VI) conditions in two ROIs on the left and right hemispheres, respectively. In each subpanel, the two vertical dash lines plot the onset and offset of stimulation. Panel (C) plots the group mean (bars) and SEM (error bars) of the ΔHbC amplitudes in three ROIs on the left and right hemispheres.
