Table 2. BOLD correlates of HR across states.
Clusters extracted from the ROIs showing a positive HR/BOLD coupling parameter across the blocks of neutral and compassion states (average t score in each cluster) (10 experts and 12 novices). No cluster with negative HR/BOLD coupling parameter was found.
