Main effect of spatial domain.

<p>(A) The bilateral SOG and the POJ showed significantly higher neural activity in the near space processing than in the far space processing (i.e., ‘Near > Far’) in the ‘match’ condition. No significant activation was found for the reverse contrast (i.e., ‘Far > Near’). (B) The primary visual cortex, the POJ and SOG showed significantly higher neural activity in the near space processing than in the far space processing (i.e., ‘Near > Far’) in the ‘natural’ condition (red regions). The bilateral inferior occipital gyrus (IOG) were activated for the reverse contrast (i.e., ‘Far > Near’). (C) Conjunction between the ‘Near > Far’ contrast in the ‘match’ and ‘natural’ conditions revealed the POJ and bilateral SOG.
