Figure 2.

The activation pattern for each of the four conditions in contrast to baseline (fixation cross; top), the bimodal conditions in contrast to the unimodal conditions (IC > S; IC > G; MP > S; MP > G; middle) and the direct contrasts of the processing of iconic (IC) and metaphoric (MP) coverbal gestures (IC > MP, MP > IC; bottom). IC, iconic coverbal gesture condition (concrete); MP, metaphoric coverbal gestures condition (abstract); S, speech without gesture; G, gesture without speech.
