  • A summary of the timing and the MRI coordinates of the audiovisual congruency effects is reported in the last two columns (whenever available). AVCE, Audiovisual congruency effects; SOA, stimulus-onset asynchrony; aSTP, anterior superior temporal plane; HS, Heschl's sulcus; IFG: inferior frontal gyrus; ITG, inferior temporal gyrus; MFG, middle frontal gyrus; MTC, middle temporal cortex; PT, planum temporale; STC, superior temporal cortex; STS, superior temporal sulcus.
