We implemented a voxel-wise whole brain analysis to identify brain regions with significant changes of hemodynamic modulation for the contrasts all emotions ([“anger”+ “disgust” + “joy” + “neutral”] − “control”), anger (“anger” − “control”), and joy (“joy” − “control”). (Abbreviations: x, y, and z refer to the Talairach coordinates of the center of mass of the regions; peak t value refers to the t value of the peak voxel in the cluster; cluster size refers to the number of voxels which survived threshold masking at p[uncorrected] ≤ 0.001; FWE value describes the probability, that a cluster of the given size would appear as a false positive result in a contrast of the given smoothness; effect refers to an increase (p2 > p1) or a decrease (p2 < p1) of hemodynamic responses after psychotherapy.)
