Systems, Erlangen, Germany) with a standard 32-channel radio-frequency head
coil. Stimulus presentation was controlled via Presentation software
(Neurobehavioral Systems Inc., Albany, CA), and the stimulus displays were
projected on a screen, located at a distance of approximately 120 cm (frame rate
= 60 Hz). All stimuli were presented on a gray background (RGB = 100, 100, 100).
The stimulus material comprised images of faces and houses as well as text
captions. A total of 252 face images and 252 house images were collected by
accessing publicly available databases and by downloading further images form
the Internet. These images were converted to gray scale and displayed at a scale
of 150 × 200 pixels (equivalent to 3.77 × 5.03° visual
angle). Text captions were displayed in white font (font type = Arial, font size
= 22, equivalent to 4.49 × 0.65°).
