Brain region representing the physical stimulus. Panel A displays the contrast map averaged across subjects showing a region responding significantly less to the physical stimulus in comparison to the completed stimulus (contrast physical < completed; p < 0.01, uncorrected). The statistical map is superimposed on a sagittal and an axial slice of one subject. Panel B displays the event-related deconvolved BOLD fMRI responses (beta weights, averaged across trials and subjects) from this region reported against time for each of the experimental conditions: completed [red], physical [blue], repeated [green], and control [orange]. Time point 1 = trial onset. Error bars correspond to standard errors of the mean. Abbreviations: sulc, sulcus. Panel C depicts two contrast maps superimposed on a coronal slice of one subject and a close-up of the activation pattern. The orange contrast map shows the same region as in panel A (contrast physical < completed). The green contrast map shows a region responding significantly less to the repeated stimulus in comparison to the control stimulus (contrast repeated < control).
