High-density MEG signals were recorded from 204 channels (102 pairs of planar gradiometers) with a whole-head Neuromag Vectorview system (Elekta) in a magnetically and electrically shielded room. The signals were recorded continuously with 600 Hz sampling rate and minimal filtering (0.1 to 200 Hz). The position of magnetic coils attached to the skull, the main fiduciary points such as the nose, nasion and preauricular points, as well as a large array of random points spread across the scalp were digitized with 3Space Isotrak II system for subsequent precise co-registration with structural MRI images. Trials with incorrect responses were excluded from all further analysis. In addition, the number of included trials was equated across beverage and task conditions for each subject in order to eliminate potential bias due to unequal number of trials. The MEG analysis stream primarily uses our custom Matlab functions and it relies partially on publicly available packages including FieldTrip [77], EEGLAB [78], and OpenMEEG [79]. Single trial MEG data were low-pass filtered at 100 Hz and epoched in two different ways in order to gain insight into
