Note. Only clusters that are significant on cluster level (p_fwe < 0.05) at an individual voxel threshold of t = 3.5 are reported. The region refers to brain areas through which the cluster is spanning. HA > NE = happy versus neutral faces, AN > NE = angry versus neutral faces, FE > NE = fearful versus neutral faces, hem. = hemisphere, x, y and z are in MNI space.
