Brain regions whose prestimulus neural activity modulated subsequent pain perception. Prestimulus neural activity in bilateral primary somatosensory cortex (S1), supplementary motor area (SMA), anterior and mid‐cingulate cortices (ACC and MCC), and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) positively modulated the perceived intensity of a subsequent painful stimulus. Prestimulus neural activity in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), bilateral precuneus, angular gyrus, and bilateral amygdala/parahippocampal cortices, negatively modulated the perceived intensity of a subsequent painful stimulus. Displayed voxels survived the voxel‐level threshold of P _uncorrected = 0.05, and the cluster‐level nonparametric permutation testing.
