Table 3 Mean relative sizes of activations in AR and eAR—both given as percent of the overall size of the auditory region. Moreover, a ratio of auditory to extra-auditory activations (AR/eAR) is given (bold). The three parameters are listed for different smoothing filter kernels (S) and thresholds for statistical inferences (p). About 1% activation in AR is reached with p < 0.001 for studies without anesthesia and p < 0.01 for those with anesthesia (italic type)
