Highlights • Auditory and visual versions of paced serial addition task compared within-subject. • Single-session functional MRI study on young healthy volunteers. • Activations dominated by modality-independent attention/working memory network. • Deactivations in both modalities revealed mostly default mode network. • Inter-modality differences were found in specific frontal and occipital areas.
