PTT = perceptual threshold of touch, SSEP = somatosensory evoked potentials, S2 = secondary somatosensory cortex, STR = superior thalamocortical radiation, CST = corticospinal tract. All given brain regions are corrected for multiple comparison. If indicated with two asterisks (**), the voxel is tested significant based on Brunner–Munzel Z-score after applying a FDR of 0.01. For dichotomous variables, Liebermeister Z-scores are indicated with a double cross (++) for FDR 0.01 or a single cross (+) for FDR 0.05.
