All 13 categories as defined for analysis

Category Papers Subjects Experiments Included paradigms
Emotion 83 1,383 195 All paradigms that elicited emotion in the subjects such as induction, imagination or recall of own happiness, fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, or disgust
Empathy 46 657 120 All paradigms in which the subjects had to judge emotions in faces or attend to pain in others. This thus involved feeling with the emotions in others, not the more cognitive aspects of “theory of mind”
Olfaction 12 175 31 All olfactory stimuli, no stimuli that elicited trigeminal afferents, no gustatory stimuli
Gustation 13 162 31 All gustatory tasks. Subjects had to taste tastants compared to a tasteless baseline. No odors
Interoception 43 638 105 All visceral sensation, hunger/thirst, sexual arousal, air hunger, changing core temperature or urge to void
Pain 46 573 79 All painful stimuli applied to subjects by temperature, electrical or physical stimulation or hypersensitation. Pain was applied to different parts of the subject’s body
Somatosensation 34 421 46 All somatosensation, no painful or visceral stimuli. Again, different modalities and bodyparts
Motion 64 731 125 All motor tasks, including movement of face, mouth and tongue, and hands/feet irrespective of side
Attention 125 1,918 264 Spatial attention, sorting/matching, Stroop/Flanker/Simon/gonogo/Switching tasks, cues
Language 129 1,704 297 Semantic, syntactic, phonological, orthographic decisions and listening to language
Speech 51 709 130 All motor speech
Working memory 96 1,537 213 All short term memory, working memory, n-back tasks, encoding, and recall
Memory 69 1,188 131 Memory tasks, recall of information learned previous to the experiment
Sum 811 11,796 1,768
