Expertise and processing distorted structure in chess
Task-related activation comparing groups. (A) Chess experts showed bilateral activation of the insula for the comparison of real chess perception minus randomly scrambled chess. (B) Chess experts differed from less skilled players in showing more activation in posterior cingulate and right superior temporal cortex when processing normal chess as compared to random chess. (C) Chess experts differed from less skilled players in showing more activation within the left parietal cortex when processing randomly scrambled chess as compared to normal chess.
Brain activation relevant to random chess. (A) Regions of the bilateral occipital and parietal cortex were active for experts when contrasting randomly scrambled chess minus real chess. In addition the left DLPFC was active along with a left predominance in parietal activation. (B) Less skilled players showed bilateral occipital activation with active clusters extending into the inferior parietal cortex when contrasting randomly scrambled minus real chess.
