Table 2. Brain areas where the attentional bias during laughter perception (response times JOY – TAU) was positively correlated with stronger responses to JOY than to TAU.

Activations thresholded at p<0.001, uncorrected with a cluster size k≥10 voxels. Coordinates refer to the MNI system. Only those clusters whose size is marked with a “*” can be considered significant at p<0.05, FWE corrected for multiple comparisons across the whole brain at the cluster level which corresponds to a cluster size of k≥60 voxels. Clusters with a size k<60 voxels are shown solely for the purpose of completeness. Voxel size 3×3×3 mm3.
