Figure 2.

Significant activation related to the psychological by physiological component showing negative correlation with activity in the left IPS in distractor-salient conditions (center of figure; n = 12; p < 0.05, corrected). The group activation is superimposed on an individual T1-weighted structural image. The two subclusters are seen in orange (left occipital pole) and blue (right cuneus). At the bottom of the figure, activation map for the visual > rest contrast of the pre-TMS scans in experiment 1 is shown. The group activation (n = 12; p < 0.05, corrected) (for a full list of clusters, see supplemental Table 3, available at www.jneurosci.org as supplemental material) is superimposed (in red) on an averaged T1-weighted structural image showing the left occipital pole cluster (the orange cluster from the image at the center of the figure) in yellow. The overlap between the clusters is shown in orange. BOLD signal change in the left occipital pole cluster for the different saliency conditions before and after left and right IPS TMS is shown on the left and right of the figure, respectively. Here, we show the maximum BOLD signal change (denoted in percentage), averaged across all participants. Error bars denote interparticipant SE.
