Psychophysical measures of pain and salience for laser and electric stimuli under laser attention and distraction tasks

	Laser: Attention vs. Distraction Task	Electric: Attention vs. Distraction Task
Pain	5.4 ± 2.0 vs. 1.9 ± 1.3*	n/a
Unpleasantness	5.4 ± 2.3 vs. 2.0 ± 1.7†	0.9 ± 0.8 vs. 1.9 ± 1.5†
Salience	6.2 ± 2.6 vs. 2.0 ± 1.4†	2.0 ± 1.7 vs. 4.8 ± 2.0†

Values are means ± SE. Note that attention and distraction tasks always refer to the laser stimulus. n/a, Not applicable.
