(A) Functional coupling with the auditory seed (left MFG/PreCS) during sound feature retrieval (sound judgments: high > low sound words). (B) Overlap (green) between functional coupling with the auditory seed during sound feature retrieval (blue) and activation for the auditory localizer (red; real sounds > silence). (C) TASK × SOUND interaction in functional coupling with the auditory seed, reflecting a stronger coupling increase for sound features (high vs. low sound words) during sound judgments than during lexical decisions (yellow), action judgments (blue), or both (green). All statistical maps were thresholded at a voxel-wise P < 0.001 and a cluster-wise P < 0.05 FWE-corrected.
