The execution of complex visual, auditory, and linguistic behaviors requires a dynamic
interplay between spatial ('where/how') and non-spatial ('what') information processed along …

We meta-analyzed 115 functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies reporting
auditory-cortex (AC) coordinates for activations related to active and passive processing of …
