...The neurocognition of sign does not look, for example, like the neurocognition of gesture, but instead recruits, for example, auditory cortex (MacSweeney et al. 2002; Nishimura et al. 1999)....

...…The modality transfer in sign versus spoken language can be exploited to explore the nature of language processing when the input/output systems are switched, thus allowing glimpses into language-specific cognition beyond the vocal-auditory specializations (Emmorey 2002; MacSweeney et al. 2002)....

...…tactile speech (Levänen, 1998; Rönnberg, 1993), and auditory imagery (Zatorre, 2007), as well as by WM-relevant sign language functions (e.g. Capek et al, 2008; Emmorey et al, 2003; MacSweeney et al, 2002, 2008; McGuire et al, 1997; Petitto et al, 2000; Sakai et al, 2005; Rönnberg et al, 2000)....

...An inversion recovery EPI (echoplanar imaging) data set was also acquired to facilitate registration of each individual's fMRI data set to Talairach space (Talairach and Tournoux, 1988)....

...The voxel-wise SSQ ratios calculated for each subject from the observed data and following time-series permutation were transformed into the standard space of Talairach and Tournoux (1988) as described previously (Brammer et al., 1997)....

...The sum of a1* for each cluster was then tested for signi®cance against the identically derived randomization distribution (Bullmore et al., 1999)....

...This comprised 43 nearaxial 3 mm slices (0.3 mm gap), which were acquired parallel to the AC±PC line (TE = 80 ms, TI (inversion time) = 180 ms, TR = 16 s)....

...We have shown that hearing people reliably activate the auditory cortices, often including the primary auditory cortex, during silent speech-reading (Calvert et al., 1997; MacSweeney et al., 2000, 2001)....

...In this ®rst neuroimaging study of the perception of British Sign Language (BSL), we explored these questions by measuring brain activation using functional MRI in nine hearing and nine congenitally deaf native users of BSL while they performed a BSL sentence-acceptability task....

...Following motion correction, a least-squares ®t was carried out between the observed time series at each voxel and a mixture of two one-parameter gamma variate functions (peak responses 4 and 8 s) convolved with the experimental design (Friston et al., 1998)....
