Differing Brain Activation Depending on Speaker Origin

Caption

The red shows the regions of the brain (the right posterior central gyrus and left superior parietal lobule) that were activated as listeners made judgments about whether speakers from the "in-group" sounded believable. The blue shows the regions of the brain (the bilateral superior temporal lobe) that were activated as listeners made the same judgments for "out-group" speakers.
