Table 1B. Activation in pain-related regions.

To examine consistent responses to painful stimuli, we broke the 25 five-second stimuli into five sets. The following regions were significant in all five sets, and also during presentation of ten-second stimuli following the experiment (which was presented without visual stimuli, to mask out regions associated with viewing feedback stimuli). Mean Z-statistics represent the mean of activation in all those conditions.
