  1. Effects are based on comparison of the incongruent condition with the congruent condition data. EEG-based features include peak amplitude (V), peak latency (ms), and scalp topography. MEG-based features include amplitude difference during the 300–500 ms window (∆300–500ms), spectral effects, and cortical activations. Cong.  congruent condition, incong.  incongruent condition, IFG inferior frontal gyrus, TL temporal lobe (superior, middle and inferior temporal gyri), IPL inferior parietal lobule. Only statistically significant features are shown
