Three fMRI runs were collected. The paradigm for each run included 16 4-second thermal pulses with a 12-second interstimulus interval. The temperature used for the thermal pulses was specific to each participant, based on quantitative sensory testing prior to scanning. Participants rated pain intensity using a computerized VAS subsequent to each stimulus.
